Just a short walk from Place de la Bastille, and hidden in a quiet, green courtyard, this bright apartment is perfect for exploring hidden gems off the typical tourist trail. From the Canal Saint Martin to Place des Vosges, you're within walking distance of historic sights, and the open-plan living space is a welcome place to put your feet up at the end of the day. Trendy lighting and sliding glass doors lend the interiors a contemporary feel, while natural art ensures it still feels homely. Grab local produce from the Bastille Market on Thursdays and Sundays and cook dinner in the sleek kitchen, or head out to explore the (many) restaurants of the 11th arrondissement.
