This luxurious apartment is a special place to call home in Paris. It’s just a short walk from Place de la Bastille, the Marais, and the Seine, with excellent transport links to the rest of the city – you’ll be wonderfully placed for sightseeing. The apartment is elegant and sophisticated, with a hammam spa and a cinema room. The open-plan living and dining space is the heart of the home, with two fireplaces for cosy evenings, and a sleek, fully-equipped kitchen – and your host can arrange a private chef. The lift doesn’t go to the top floor, so there will be some stairs to climb.
