Dating back to the 17th century, this apartment in the heart of the Marais is a comfortable base for a family or a group of friends. Three seating areas provide plenty of room to spread out – although two guests will sleep on a sofa bed – while outside, there's a private garden for dining on a warm afternoon. If you intend to work remotely during your stay, it’s worth noting that the wi-fi connection is temperamental on the lower ground floor. When you’re ready to explore, the Louvre Museum and Notre Dame Cathedral are around a twenty-five-minute walk away, with Le Marais' many bars, eateries, and boutiques also nearby.

Home truths:

*Bed linen and towels are changed every ten days.
*The lead guest must be at least 21 years old.
*There is only air conditioning in some rooms.
*There's an alarm system here.
