With French doors opening onto balconies with city views – including of the Eiffel Tower – this Parisian home had us instantly hooked. There's no letting up indoors, with the open-plan living area giving you plenty of space to stretch out, perfect if this is a multi-generational group who might want some time apart. Located in the well-heeled 16th arrondissement, there's an array of museums and fine dining practically on your doorstep, while Bois de Boulogne is a short stroll away – a large park great for unwinding. And if you want to explore further afield, La Muette Metro Station is just down the road.
