An Ode to Eiffel

Just a five-minute walk from Paris’ emblematic Iron Lady, this stunning apartment gives you an eyeful of the Eiffel and then some.

The main living space is a grand affair, blending period elegance – like its parquet floor – with a thoroughly modern design and decor. We love the vibrant blue palette in the seating area with its electric fireplace – ideal for cosying up next to with a glass of bubbly – while the large floor-to-ceiling windows proffer views over the city's rooftops and the Eiffel Tower from all angles.

Whether you’re kicking back on the sofa, gathering around the long dining table or perching at the Deco-inspired curved breakfast bar, you’ll love feasting on the wide-sweeping views. What’s more, there’s a wraparound balcony to make the vistas even sweeter over alfresco breakfasts or celebratory sunset drinks.

The jaw-dropping views don’t stop there, however. Catch up on work at the third bedroom’s desk while ogling the Eiffel Tower in all its towering glory, or run yourself a luxurious evening bubble bath in the main bedroom as you watch the tower sparkle on the hour. No matter where you position yourself, you’re sure to be wowed by the living tableau in front of you.

If you can bear to tear yourself away from your plush pad, you’ll find plenty of restaurants, bars and shops on your front step, while the banks of the Seine beckon long ambles a four-minute walk away. The Trocadéro Gardens are also just a twelve-minute stroll and the Rodin Museum is thirty minutes away on foot.
