Le Balcon

Just over a five-minute walk from the Eiffel Tower and the Seine, this stylish home has a fantastic location in Paris. In the evenings, you can stroll over to the Champs de Mars with a baguette from the boulangerie opposite and a bottle of wine and watch the lights of the Iron Lady shimmer above. Or, Hôtel National des Invalides, built in the 1670s by Louis XIV, is a fifteen-minute stroll away, ideal for architecture and history lovers. If you're a foodie, you're in luck – there are an array of award-winning restaurants right on your doorstep. Back at this apartment, we love the sunny balcony, which is ideal for enjoying the breakfast provided by your lovely host. Inside, the walls are adorned with modern art, while a collection of books and magazines are dotted around. This cosy and bright home is just the ticket for a couple or solo traveller looking to explore the wonderful sights of Paris.
