Typically Parisian with a contemporary touch, this restful home in the 9th arrondissement is brimming with charm. Ideally located to embark on a whistle-stop tour of the French capital, or live like a local in this café-packed neighbourhood, the stylish apartment guarantees an enjoyable stay in the City of Love.

The light-filled space makes a strong case for all-grey interiors, with plush seating, a sleek kitchen and modern wall art, balanced out by original features – the herringbone floors are a highlight for us. This home's muted aesthetic has a calming effect, ideal to retreat back to after a busy day on the town.

When you step outside your door, the whole of Paris is at your fingertips. Montmartre's heart is just a twenty-five minute walk away, where you can wind your way through storybook streets to reach the Sacré-Cœur. Alternatively, take the metro (your nearest stop, Saint-Augustin, is a five-minute walk away) and hop from landmark to landmark, starting with the Eiffel Tower and ending your day with a stroll along the Seine.
