Tiger King

Tiger King: Île-de-France

If you're looking for a chic city bolthole, set equidistant from the beating heart of Paris and the Palace of Versailles, this immaculate apartment in the Parisian riverside district of Issy-les-Moulineaux is just the ticket.

Ideally suited for a romantic break for two or a single traveller in town for business, there's all the creature comforts here and a 24-hour concierge at the ready should you need anything. The breakfast bar is the spot to get together for a lazy breakfast (the nearby pâtisserie can help with that). There's plenty of space to crash out and put your feet up with that second coffee in the living space. And you'll love how quiet this apartment's street is, far from the maddening traffic and crowds of downtown Paris.

When it's time to delve into the city's hustle and bustle, it won't take long to find it – you're just an seven-minute walk from the metro station, Corentin Celton. Blaze a trail into Paris, and in just twenty minutes, you can be standing beneath the iron lady herself. For something closer to home, head to the Seine for a riverside walk or join the locals for a picnic in Parc Ile Saint-Germain just over the water – it's all less than a half-an-hour stroll away.
