Ornate wrought iron facade? Check. Floor-to-ceiling Juliet balcony doors. You bet. This stylish French apartment, centrally located in the 9th Arrondissement district, is as quintessentially Parisian as it gets. But don't be fooled by its 19th Century Haussmann appearance. Inside, the beautiful lofty ceilings, exposed stone walls, and balconies remain, while everywhere else has been entirely reimagined for seamless, modern living. You'll love the design touches here – with marble-clad finishes and statement lighting turning up the luxe factor. In the bedroom, you'll find a comfy bed clad out in crisp white linens, and balcony doors opening out to reveal the charming rooftops beyond.

When the bustle of the Parisian streets below finally calls you down, mosey around the nearby market street (two minutes on foot) for all the baguettes and fromage you could muster, or take a rummage in the antique stores and independent boutiques on your doorstep. Those drawn to the evening excitement should head for the Pigalle district (three minutes on foot), where you'll find authentic cafes, hipster dives, dance clubs and everything else in between. Or for something a touch more refined, a visit to the city's original and most famous opera house, Palais Garnier (nineteen minutes on foot), should do rather nicely. And when it's time to unearth other corners of this city, just hop on the metro (three minutes on foot), and away you go.
