The Remedy

The Remedy: Île-de-France

Located on the iconic Boulevard de Saint-Germain, this home is a seven-minute walk from the Panthéon, and the same distance north to the Île de la Cité. While this area is bursting at the seams with some of Paris’ most famous sights, you can also take a quick stroll around the area to discover local boutiques, cafés, and wine bars. With such vibrant surroundings, the relaxed vibe of this apartment is the remedy to a busy day out. With high ceilings in the living space, plush furniture, and rich wooden flooring, a certain opulence is noticeable as soon as you arrive. With original features like a decorative fireplace and wrought-ironwork framing French windows, you still get that old-world Paris vibe (which suits this arrondissement perfectly). That said, the decor has been brought up to date with modern lighting fixtures and other stylish furnishings. The bedrooms are equally tasteful, each with its own balconette – a perfect perch for your morning espresso as you gaze out to the city streets. And with the Maubert - Mutualité metro stop only a minute from home, you can explore Paris with ease from this iconic area of town.
