Description Luminary: Paris

Flooded with natural light and in one of the prettiest parts of the city, this authentic Parisian home is a real charmer. Right in the heart of Montmartre , with views over the cobbled streets below (and even the Sacré-Coeur's bell tower from the kitchen window), this place puts you in easy strolling distance of cafes, bistros and parks. Just wandering the historic streets that have inspired so many artists over the centuries is a joy in itself.

In a typical period building, your home is on a high floor and is bursting with character. Bright and quiet, you'll be wowed by the tall windows, high ceilings and wrought-iron balconies. There's a lot of love gone into styling this apartment, with homely touches and a real lived-in feel. Smart and stylish, the all-white walls and woodblock floors are timeless, and we love the well-stocked kitchen where you can sip your morning coffee at the little table each morning before heading off to explore.
