Kapow: Île-de-France

Bold and playful, this apartment is sure to put a smile on your face. How could it not, when there's a cushy purple sofa, rainbow-striped chair, quirky wallpaper in the bedrooms and pop art peppering the walls? With a well-stocked kitchen, marble bathroom and cosy bedrooms to boot, you couldn't ask for a better place to call home. Greet the day with a typical French breakfast of croissants and coffee at the dining table, then head out to explore all the city has to offer. Much like the apartment, Le Marais is vibrant and animated, known as a quintessential Parisian neighbourhood steeped in history. You'll find an array of shops and eateries on Rue Beaubourg, which is just around the corner, and there are even more options nestled among the arcades near Place des Vosges. Culture vultures can get their fix at museums like Maison de Victor Hugo (home of the famous novelist, just a twenty-minute walk) and Musée National Picasso (ten minutes on foot). Or just stroll down the cobblestone streets letting the spirit of Paris guide you to your next destination.
