Nickel & Slate

With its wonderfully central location in Paris’ Grands Boulevards neighbourhood, this elegant grey-toned apartment offers a luxuriously chic stay with all the comforts you could need. We love the open-plan layout of the main living space that invites laid-back lounging on its pair of sofas and soirées over French cheese and wine at the window-side dining table. Waking up in the pared-back, sophisticated bedrooms is a treat with their French windows that give way to wrought-iron Juliet balconies over-looking a charming courtyard, while the bathroom’s rainfall shower is bound to get any morning off to a relaxing start. Fans of shopping will delight in some retail therapy at Galeries Lafayette (a twenty-minute walk away), music enthusiasts will love visiting the grand Opéra Garnier (a twenty-three-minute walk) and those with a sweet tooth should make a beeline for the Musée du Chocolat (a five-minute walk). Elsewhere, the Canal Saint-Martin’s waterside cafés beckon long afternoons over coffee and pastries fifteen minutes away on foot and the historic Marais district waits to be explored a twenty-five-minute stroll from your door.
