With a sprawling, plant-filled terrace and Jacuzzi bathtub looking out over the rooftops of Paris, this duplex apartment really feels like a secret hideaway in the city. At the top of a modern building in the 16th Arrondissement, you’ve got a view of the Eiffel Tower which is just across the Seine. The streets around you are filled with bijou bistros and sultry bars. There’s no doubt the highlight is the rooftop terrace, which is furnished with lounge seating and a dining area. The kitchen opens up to create an outdoor bar on sunny days, and there’s a second fully-stocked bar in the grand living room. Book-lined and beautiful, the interiors are decadent, and just wait until you see the view from the Jacuzzi tub in the bathroom.
