Description Victorian Véranda: Paris

In this colourful Parisian home bursting with highlights, there was one feature that demanded to be mentioned first — the charming stained-glass veranda that sticks out of the building. This architectural gem has been lovingly restored in recent years and you can see the attention that has gone into getting the antique patterned tiling and oak wood panelling just right. It makes for a lovely spot to curl up with a book on a rainy afternoon. Elsewhere at the address, we were impressed by the amount of tech available to use, from the turntable hooked up to a sound system to the juicer in the kitchen so you can make fresh OJ in the mornings. Although you could be tempted to stay inside for the whole of your stay, be sure to make the most of the fabulous location in the heart of Le Marais as well. Wander through these historic streets and you'll come across all sorts of galleries, quirky shops and contemporary restaurants.
