The Shopkeeper's Cottage

Located on the ground floor, in an old shop, this Parisian home is ladled with not only history but endless charm too. Warm and homely finishings make for an inviting living space for a large group of guests to gather around. Light fills the room as the floor-to-ceiling frosted glass windows allow the sun the reflect off the cool turquoise blue interiors beautifully. With enough space for up to six people, the roomy dining table is the perfect spot to share coffee, baguette and pastries in the morning while planning the day's itinerary. Head out for a spot of sightseeing, starting with the Eiffel Tower, which is just a twenty-minute walk away. Stroll along the River Seine from there or hop on the underground metro until you wind up amidst the popular shopping districts and museum areas of your choice. Why not catch an exhibition at the Grand Palais, before hitting the shops of the Champs-Elysées? If the prospect of having so many things to see and do is somewhat overwhelming – feel rest assured in knowing that the plush sofas, cloud-like beds and a dreamy bathtub will be ready and waiting for you at whatever time you choose to return home.
