Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Found a short walk from Musée d'Orsay, this Parisian home features its own gallery to create a charming and welcoming space. Though it might not be suitable for toddlers, it's still a great base for families exploring Paris. Given the location, close to the Louvre Museum and Luxembourg Gardens, you'll be able to tick some of the most iconic sights off the list. Apart from being in a great spot, the home is comfortable and well-kept, and the terrace seating is a nice touch. It's worth noting the second bedroom's double bed is on the smaller side, and the third has a sofa bed. Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.
