L'Hommage

L'Hommage: Île-de-France

It's a quaint and cosy apartment in the Haute Marais, – Paris' ever-emerging and oh-so-trendy new enclave buried between the historic Marais and recently revamped Place de la République. Perfectly located to explore, you're a two-minute wander from Marché des Enfants Rouges – the oldest covered market in the city, boasting a thriving food scene. And when lunchtimes are over, take in the iconic sights, including the Notre Dame, just twenty-one minutes away (on foot). Back home, the interior is an ode to its predecessors with provincial features, exposed wooden beams, an intricate fireplace, and a sparkling full-size chandelier. But the spot we really love is the playfully Parisian kitchen, benefitting from monochromatic tones and a postcard backsplash – it's the perfect place to rustle up a plate of croque madame for breakfast before a day spent sightseeing.
