As its name alludes to, this 17th-century building was once the barracks of the King’s Musketeers. Refurbished to 21st-century style and standards, this home’s history can still be felt with its original beams and vaulted ceilings. With a modern and comfortable living area filled with leather soft furnishings and personal touches, and a spacious dining room – there is plenty of space for family and friends to relax after a day exploring the military museum of Les Invalides. It’s the kind of home that sets imaginations going, just imagine the stories it could tell. This home invites you to unwind amongst its storied ceilings, with its cosy-beamed bedrooms and a rooftop terrace with views across the historic and cultural capital. Bordering both the Montparnasse and Saint Germain des Prés arrondissements, this apartment offers an idyllic base for exploring the Rodin Museum, L'École Militaire and the stunning gardens of Jardin du Luxembourg, all within a twenty-five-minute walking distance. Visit the 1838 department store, Le Bon Marché, where you’ll find a fine selection of French produce – choose some picnic items to enjoy sitting in the tranquil Jardin Catherine-Labouré, just four minutes away.
