Yellow Tulip

This quintessentially Haussmanian home at the heart of Saint Germain-des-Prés boasts period features that will transport you back in time – there are intricate marble fireplaces, fine mouldings and herringbone parquet. The key element in this home is space, with plenty to go around for the whole group. A second living room with a large smart TV is perfect to unwind with your favourite shows, while the area has so much to offer that we predict you'll be spending most of your time exploring the local attractions.

Home truths:
* This is a lived-in home so some wear and tear is to be expected – there are a few nicks and cracks in some places

* Although there is a long balcony, it overlooks a busy road and is very narrow so it's not really usable

* There is no air-conditioning in this home

*Liability insurance is requested to stay in this home

*There is another water closet, but we didn't snap a photo of it when we visited
