Le Jardin de la Ville

It was a real surprise when we saw this home had a private garden, seeing as it’s situated in the beating heart of the city. Located in La fourche-Guy Môquet, you’ll find many green spaces, restaurants and shops, and it’s even within walking distance of beguiling Montmartre.

Let’s talk some more about that lovely outdoor space – it’s such a rarity for this location. There are over 900 square metres of it, with flower beds, sun loungers and a dining area – soak up the Parisian sun here or read a book to relax.

Back up the steps and through the veranda (a lovely place for a coffee or catch up on work at the desk here), you’ll find the beautiful living room. We love this space with its sculptural copper light, Berber-style rug and exposed stone walls. A large architectural window gives a glimpse into the stylish kitchen – perfect for preparing a French feast.

The main bedroom, with its huge Eiffel Tower print and windows onto an ornate Juliet balcony, has lovely garden views – c'est parfait.
