La Vie

Located in Montmartre, arguably one of the most romantic areas of Paris – this home has a charming setting. It has a bohemian atmosphere thanks to the many artists who have lived in this neighbourhood over the years, from Dalí and Monet to Picasso and Van Gogh. Have a stroll and soak up the atmosphere or visit Sacré Coeur (five minutes on foot). A ten-minute saunter will take you to the Moulin Rouge, while the Musée de la Vie Romantique, situated in the house of the painter Ary Scheffer, is a twelve-minute wander. After all that exploring, head back to this cosy home, housed in a period building. Watch a movie in the home cinema or put some records on the vinyl player and kickback, before cooking some dinner (there's a handy rice cooker in the kitchen). There's an office here too if you need to catch up on work. If the weather turns chilly, sit down by the fire on the Eames style rocker with a good book. Or, on warm days, open up the windows to the Juliette balcony and let the fresh air and the sounds of Paris in.
