Vintage St Martin

Positioned in the tenth-arrondissement, just a six-minute stroll from the banks of the Canal Saint-Martin, this home provides a chic base for couples and solo travellers. You'll find it perched in a huddle of Haussmannian architecture, exuding Parisian charm in every sense with its exquisitely renovated interior.

Inside, it's a timeless canvas of high ceilings and hardwood floors, adorned with a sophisticated blend of contemporary and mid-century decor. Double French windows, embraced by wrought-iron grills, beckon sunlight to flood the space, and we love the free-flowing layout, creating a calming ambience primed for relaxation.

After a restful slumber, spend slow mornings in this chic pad, brewing espressos on the Moka pot and tucking into croissants from the artisan bakery downstairs, Sain Boulangerie. Enjoy a morning stroll along the tree-lined canal, admiring elegant iron footbridges, trendy eateries and bars and boasts passing through, before heading to Parc des Buttes-Chaumont for a picnic in the sunshine.
