Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This apartment's location is truly remarkable. A five-minute stroll from the Jardin des Tuileries, ten from high-end shopping on Rue Saint-Honoré, and fifteen from the Louvre, you'll be smack-dab in the heart of Paris here. It's the perfect base for sightseeing, but when you're not out and about, the elegant interiors will be a welcome respite. We love the arched windows, which flood each room with sunlight. The kitchen and bathroom are a tad dated but have everything you need, and the minimalist bedroom is the ideal escape from the hustle and bustle on your doorstep. Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

Local guide
About Louvre - Palais Royal
Where to begin with one of Paris's most majestic and central districts? This was the stomping ground of historic kings, and now its grand palaces and squares are home to museums, galleries, government offices, and luxury shopping. With no fewer than three Royal palaces, the attractions are plentiful in this neck of the woods. If checking out the Mona Lisa with throngs of tourists isn't your thing, we recommend exploring some of the area's quieter hidden gems. Colonnes de Burennes has a gorgeous secret square and Alain Ducasse's world-famous French restaurant 'Le Meurice' is just around the corner.
