A perfect reflection of its stylish Saint-Germain-des-Prés locale, this welcoming apartment exudes sophistication with its muted colour palette, parquet floors, abstract art and modern decor. We love the plump sofa that takes centre stage in the open-plan living area, beckoning relaxed evenings over glasses of French wine before enjoying a meal around the dining table or setting out to discover the chic bistros nearby. With sleek stone bathrooms and two comfortable pared-back bedrooms, you’ve got everything you need for a fashionable, carefree stay. When it comes to exploring outside your home, make a beeline for Notre Dame or cross over the Pont des Arts to spend a cultural afternoon at the Louvre. You’ve got countless high-end boutiques in your neighbourhood for a spot of self-care and retail therapy, while the beautifully manicured Luxembourg Gardens invites afternoon promenades between pit-stops for café au laits at local cafes.
