La Cendre

Sitting at the heart of the 3rd arrondissement, Le Marais is famously one of Paris’ most creative and colourful quarters. A favourite of writers, artists, and actors, this bohemian area is full of galleries, boutiques, and eclectic cafés. But with so much excitement going on in the local area, you’ll need a relaxed base to come home to. Just a two-minute stroll from the Arts et Métiers metro station, this apartment makes a statement with its understatement. After experiencing the colour and quirks of your locale, the plush, grey interiors allow you to centre yourself. Sink your feet into the thick, fluffy rug, or recline on the soft sofas. Grey, wood-panelled walls bring a vintage look to the space, along with mid-century furnishings and monochrome photography prints of Parisian scenes. You’re reminded of your arty surroundings with the pops of colour from fresh flowers and blue cushions, but the overall theme is one of muted sophistication, and the charming courtyard views add to the calming atmosphere. When you’re recharged and ready to head out, take a wander east to the Canal Saint-Martin. With hip bars and street food by the waterside, why not stay on for a few cocktails – home is just an eleven-minute walk away.
