Located in Le Marais, a smart neighbourhood long revered for its aristocratic residents, this apartment invites you to enjoy the finer things in life. It's a fascinating fusion of old and new, with plenty of historic details offset by contemporary swagger. The open-plan living and dining layout feels loft-like and industrial with a statement fireplace, huge factory windows and even a cow skin chair where you can recline with a glass of wine. The master bedroom, however is the pearl. On the ceiling you'll find a beautiful fresco depicting angels in heaven – a sheer delight to admire as you drift off to sleep. When you're done dreaming, there is plenty to see around Le Marais, from galleries to boutiques, and with Sully-Morland Metro station just a few minutes walk away the rest of Paris is within easy reach too.
