Free as a Bird

Just five minutes from the Opéra Garnier and ten from the majestic Palais-Royal Gardens, this snug apartment is in Paris' cultural heart. Although it's on the smaller side, it's a cosy space to wind down following a busy day exploring the city. The post stamp balcony is perfect for two to enjoy an apéritif in the evening sun, while the relaxed vibe in the living area is a welcome retreat from the hustle and bustle outside. This neighbourhood is a lively hub of shops and eateries, and it's known for secret passages and traditional nineteenth-century Parisian arcades that hark back to a different era. Quatre Septembre station is mere moments from your door, but many of the city's must-see sights are within walking distance. Admire the Mona Lisa at the Louvre (a twelve-minute walk), do a bit of shopping on Rue St-Honoré (eight minutes away), or if you're feeling up for it, make the climb to Sacré-Cœur in thirty minutes and admire the breathtaking views.
