This chic apartment sits on Rue du Faubourg Saint Honoré, one of Paris’ well-known boulevards, a short walk from the Champs Élysées. The neighbourhood is packed with bars, cafes and upmarket restaurants galore. Inside, the living room is bright and open, in the style of a New York loft apartment with the main bedroom on an open mezzanine level above (there are curtains for privacy). A full kitchen is tucked behind glass sliding doors and the dining table is big enough for eight.
