Located in the fashionable Marais district of Paris, this one-bedroom apartment is a short stroll across the river from Notre-Dame and a half-hour walk from the Louvre. The picturesque Place des Vosges is also on the doorstep – it’s the oldest planned square in Paris and a pretty place for a pitstop. The apartment itself ticks all the boxes for a city stay, including a kitchen area for easy meals at home, and a comfortable bed (albeit in quite a compact bedroom). There’s a hidden gem waiting to be discovered downstairs too – your own private sauna, which is the perfect antidote for aching muscles after clocking up all those sightseeing steps.

Home truths:
*The apartment has a private sauna, which is accessed from the downstairs living area.
*While the large bed makes for a great night's sleep, it does feel a little big for the room. Space is limited, so we'd recommend travelling light.
