Ochre Opulence

Situated in the beautiful city of Rennes, this homely apartment provides the perfect place to retreat to after a day out exploring. When you first step inside, you’ll be struck by the character in this home. The expanse of exposed stone is the most eye-catching feature, and with a classic fireplace, exposed beams and delicate wainscoting, you can’t help but be utterly charmed. Modern furnishings including a comfortable chaise sofa and opulent chandelier bring this home up-to-date, and the mix of old and new appears effortless. Natural light floods in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, accentuating the pops of colour provided through the ochre curtains and teal stools.

After a day of sightseeing in Rennes, return home with some local produce and show off your culinary skills in the kitchen. Your loved ones can gather around the stylish dining table and exchange stories over a bottle of fine French wine. As weariness sets in, climb the stairs to bed. The bedrooms here are cosy with comfortable beds full of promise for a blissful night’s sleep. On waking the next morning, throw open the windows, pour yourself a coffee and as the city wakes below, plan for another day of French memory-making.
