Oh La La What a View

Oh La La What a View: Île-de-France

The name of this home says it all. From this fourth-floor apartment in the beautiful Montmartre area, you'll be able to gaze out across the Paris skyline all the way to its most famous landmarks. Inside, this period home has been tastefully modernized to make the most of its character features while also creating a contemporary, stylish and unique place to stay. Particularly suited to families (thanks to two bedrooms that kids would simply love) this place has gorgeous wood floors, all-white walls, tall windows and an excellent layout. Cook up family meals in the modern, sociable kitchen, serving them up at the Scandi style dining table. There's an enormous sofa to laze on and the best views can be enjoyed from this spot. Art plays an important role in this home, with oversized vintage advertising prints and dozens of original paintings – especially in the pretty, green master bedroom. In a historic part of town, filled with charming cobbled streets, the apartment is just a ten-minute walk from Sacré Coeur. You'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to shopping and eating out, with some of the city's best restaurants and markets on your doorstep.
