This bold and contemporary three-bedroom apartment in a central Marais location offers heaps of space for a family to spread out. With a few entertainment options, children will find themselves right at home, and its central location makes it an ideal launchpad to discover Paris' sights. The Picasso National Museum is just down the road and opposite you'll find the oldest covered market in Paris - the Marché des Enfants Rouges - so you can pick up the freshest produce.

Home truths:
* Be aware that air-conditioning is available in the bedrooms only

* Although the apartment is equipped with double glazing it's in central Paris so there might be some traffic noise - light sleepers might want to look for somewhere in a quieter residential area
