What better way to base yourself in Paris’ artsiest neighbourhood than with a stay in an apartment as stylish as this? Think sparkling chandeliers and sunlight through silken curtains. Hardwood floors, a traveller’s chest coffee table and big French windows add a touch of 19th-century class too. A desk is set up in the corner of the living room, should you need to work remotely and the modern, white kitchen has more than enough to heat up a croissant in the morning.

Let’s talk location, though. You’re on the edge of Le Marais here, where wandering the narrow streets is like stepping onto the set of a film set in typical Paris. Local bistros with stripey awnings and tables spilling onto the street serve Parisian classics and wine by the carafe. Plus, there are chi-chi little galleries and boutique shops at every turn.
