Channelling all the relaxed elegance that Parisians do so well, this period apartment set along a leafy boulevard in the eternally charming sixth Arrondissement is a real find.

Step inside to discover carefully curated objets d'art and antique furniture, nodding to the host’s far-flung travels and adding layers of interest and style. Soaring floor-to-ceiling windows, ornate marble fireplaces, and sweeping parquet flooring bring all the historic flair you’re chasing, while newly-fitted bathrooms and a sleek, made-for-action kitchen bring the space firmly into the 21st century. And you’re all sorted for work with a dedicated desk quietly tucked away in one of the bedrooms to keep on top of emails – just try not to get too distracted by the views.

As dusk begins to settle over the rooftops outside, lay the table for an atmospheric evening meal – the Juliet balcony doors flung open wide to reveal the twinkling lights of the city will bring all the ambience. Or keep things casual with apéro Champagne and nibbles at the breakfast bar nook before heading out for dinner. And you’ve come to the right place. The quintessentially Parisian Sixième district is a treasure trove of swish designer shops and well-heeled bars and restaurants including the famous Cafe de Flore, Les Deux Magots, and Brasserie Lipp. But you knew that already.
