This bijou duplex apartment puts you amidst the leafy boulevards and cobbled streets of Montparnasse. The international train station is a twenty-minute stroll away and in the area to find typical bistros, boulangeries and pavement cafés to sample. Getting into the centre of Paris is easy too, with Plaisance metro station a nine-minute walk. Floor to ceiling windows in the apartment’s living room flood the place with natural light and the decor is a delightful medley of brilliant white and pops of cerulean and brass. If you’re not popping to the bakery for a pain au chocolat, the compact kitchen has everything you need to start the day and you can breakfast in the sunny window spot before hitting the city.
