Contemporary boldness meets rustic charm at this unique apartment in the heart of Le Marais. A curated collection of objects and artworks make this home worthy of an interiors magazine – we especially loved the contrast between the original wooden beams and industrial girders. You'll love waking up in one of the light-filled bedrooms and looking out onto a quintessential Parisian street scene, before padding through to the kitchen for pastries and fresh hot coffee. The surrounding neighbourhood has plenty of history and is full of Parisian style, from vintage stores to upmarket boutiques. You'll find plenty of museums, galleries and cute restaurants in Le Marais' winding streets, and getting around the rest of the city is easy from the Rambuteau Metro station. Then, when the evening rolls around, get comfy on the sofa with a glass of wine as you plan your next move.
