Orange Rind

Orange Rind: Île-de-France

Located in the heart of Marais, this home can be found in one of the oldest districts of Paris. Explore the area on foot to fully appreciate the history in the architecture, markets, and shops – not forgetting to also acknowledge the new by stopping off at the trendy restaurants and exhibitions. Visit the Picasso Museum and Place des Vosges only minutes away from your doorstep, and find a bakery on your way back so you’re able to come home with freshly-baked croissants.

Inside, the mix of bright colours and neutral whites not only makes this space comfortable, but it adds a whimsical touch that’ll be quick to remind you that you’re on holiday. Embrace that particular feeling by lying in late every morning, lazing about on the couch with a novel, and enjoying long breakfasts around the kitchen island. At the kitchen island, coincidentally, is where you can devour those fresh pastries with a cup of coffee.

When you’re not catching up on work emails from the fold-out desk in the bedroom, or enjoying a cheese and wine platter in the living space, you can explore further afield. Make use of public transport, or hire a scooter and zip around Paris to catch a glimpse of all its riches.
