There's plenty of space for a family to spread out in this bright three-bedroom apartment near Saint-Germain-des-Prés and the gorgeous Luxembourg Gardens. Although none of the bathrooms are en-suite, it more than makes up for it with a separate dining room and a fully loaded pilates studio and yoga space for private exercise or even a small group. Herringbone parquet flooring and intricate marble fireplaces make it ideal for those looking to experience a typical Parisian home.
