Huge French windows with Juliet balconies, bold art prints of Paris and plenty of contemporary touches are just a few of the features in this quirky apartment. It radiates a warm and cosy vibe that's easy to fall in love with. We didn't even mind that the kitchen lacks an oven – it just gave us an excuse to try the excellent restaurants nearby. After a busy day roaming the city, your weary legs will love nothing more than kicking back on the sofa. Rehash the day's adventures over a bottle of wine around the dining table, then, when you're ready to drift off, climb into the comfortable bed and wake up the next day feeling fresh and excited. The apartment's excellent Le Marais location is ideal for exploring this iconic neighbourhood on foot, and it's just by one of our favourite squares in Paris – Place des Vosges – and right around the corner from the Picasso Museum. Given its buzzing locale and fresh looks, this pad would suit a couple with a youthful soul, looking to explore the thriving food scene and nightlife of this very happening quarter of central Paris.
