Poplar Leaf

Poplar Leaf: Île-de-France

Close to the very central and dynamic Rue Montorgueil, this home makes an ideal base from which to explore Paris' lively centre. It's in a renovated 18th-century building, and the home's slightly retro interior design and exposed stone walls give it a dose of character. You'll love firing up the Nespresso coffee machine for some morning energy, and opening a bottle of wine to enjoy on the sofa at the end of the day. This fantastic location puts your right at the heart of the city, in an authentically Parisian neighbourhood that offers easy access to the sights. You can walk to the Pompidou Centre in ten minutes, and a twenty-minute stroll will bring you to the Picasso Museum. For travelling further afield, the Réaumur Sebastopol metro stop is just one minute away, ready to whizz you across the city.
