You'll find this flat in a gorgeous 1800s Haussmannian building, just a few minutes away from the Champs Elysées and the Presidential Palace. Inside, there's plenty of period Parisian charm – think original hardwood flooring, huge sash windows, decorative crown moulding and a sparkling antique chandelier hanging in the lounge. The elegant design matches the traditional aesthetic, with lots of soft, soothing colours and plush seating. Nibble on wine and chocolates left by the host at the dining table or check-in with the office from the boudoir-style desk. Although on the narrow side, the kitchen is well-stocked with everything you need, plus you're just a block away from the open-air street market on Rue Poncelet - perfect for buying fresh produce. This apartment is set in one of Paris' most exclusive neighbourhoods, so spend your days here browsing the designer shops, dining at Michelin-starred gourmet restaurants, and strolling along the Seine. And if you're in town to see the sights, you're in luck – the Arc de Triomphe is just a five-minute walk away.
