Two Figurines

Fit for a family wanting an authentic Parisian experience, this apartment in Canal Saint-Martin exudes the life and personality of its hosts. Set on the fifth floor (prepare for a climb as there's no lift), this place is the definition of warm and inviting. Whether you're browsing the collection of books, enjoying a family board game night or just admiring the array of worldly trinkets brought back from the couple's globetrotting, there's something for everyone here. There's even a playful child's bedroom that's full of toys and books, making this home an ideal match for a couple with a younger one. And everyone will enjoy the balcony, which is overflowing with greenery, flowers and has a gorgeous view of Sacré-Cœur. With enough space for four, it's the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffees, alfresco dinners and glasses of wine as the sun goes down. Just one street from the canal, you'll find cafes, bakeries (including an excellent one right across the street) and restaurants aplenty, plus Jacques Bonsergent station just three minutes away.
