The Eyes Have It

The Eyes Have It: Île-de-France

This sophisticated bolthole is like a masterclass in stylish Parisian living. But we'd expect nothing less from a home in the heart of the prestigious 8th arrondissement. With some of the city's best sights at your feet, including Champs-Élysées and the Grand Palais, they call this district the Golden Triangle for good reason. The apartment's charming balcony is a nice touch, though it's worth noting there's only room for two of you to sit outside at a push. This is central Paris, so it won't be the most peaceful spot, either. But whoever came to the City of Lights for peace and quiet anyway?
