Description A Serious Man: Paris

It can sometimes be a challenge to find family-sized apartments in the centre of cities, so this home in northeast Paris will be absolutely perfect for the right group. Upon entrance, you'll find a long, open-concept living area, with a lounge on one side and a minimalist kitchen finished in a dazzling white at the other. Two large windows at either end mean that there's a bountiful of natural light and it never feels anything less than fresh and inviting. Upstairs, two equally bright bedrooms have a variety of sleeping options — a versatility that families will find invaluable. In the local neighbourhood, Parc des Buttes-Chaumont sits at the end of the street, while one of the city's two Chinatowns — found in Belleville, the birthplace of Édith Piaf — can be reached in twenty minutes on foot.
