Old-world glamour meets modern cool at this apartment in the 8th arrondissement. Inside, it’s all marble effect and gold accents, with a wall of mirrors to brighten and open up the space. As soon as you step inside, make yourself comfortable in the living area with a freshly brewed coffee before planning your Parisian adventure.

Begin with a shopping excursion along the leafy Champs-Élysées, just five minutes from your doorstep, then stop for a snack at a café in the tranquil Jardin des Tuileries. Enjoy an afternoon of culture at the Louvre Museum followed by an evening of entertainment at the world-famous Palais Garnier. And when it’s time to call it a night, head home with a bottle of full-bodied red and toast to another fantastic day in the City of Light.
