As minimal as it gets, this four bedroom home in Paris' exclusive 8th arrondissement is a peaceful and calm family haven. It's hard to believe but you're also only a short walk away from the Champs Elysées and its glamorous attractions. The perfect compromise between a functional space and a desirable location.


Home truths:
* This apartment is located in the 3rd floor without an elevator

* The interior design is thoroughly minimalist so may not suit those who prefer a more classic interior

* The kitchen is on the small side so although it's fully equipped, its size makes it difficult to rustle up larger family meals
