Studio in the Sky

Sitting on the eighth floor of a building in the Courbevoie neighbourhood, this apartment treats guests to spectacular views of the rooftops of Paris. Don't be fooled into thinking that this home is a mere vantage point, though — the stylish interior is sure to be appreciated by those visiting the French capital on their own or as a couple.

The stark white walls and wooden floors are a timeless combination and work to emphasise the bountiful amounts of natural light that comes in through the windows. When it comes to design, there's a discernible Scandi influence in some of the furnishings and the tiling in the kitchen is a quirky addition, too. It must be said this latter space isn't the largest, but there's everything there needed for whipping up quick dinners.

Besides, with the number of high-end restaurants in the nearby 16th arrondissement — reached in twenty minutes in the back of a taxi — perhaps this fact doesn't matter so much. The sprawling expanse of Bois du Boulogne can also be reached in forty minutes on foot, too.

Home truths:
*There's a lift in the building to reach this single-level apartment on the eighth floor
*The building has no private parking available, but Courbevoie station is only six minutes' walk away
