Sitting on the outskirts of the quintessentially Parisian neighbourhood of Montmartre, this apartment might be a little more contemporary than many of the addresses found in the historic locale, but it's no less worthy of praise.

One of the first things you'll notice – or we did, at least – is the bountiful amount of natural light that the interior is treated to from the large windows that line the open-concept living area. This feature makes it a bright and fresh environment to spend time in, something also helped by the minimalist design, which bears a conspicuous Scandi influence. If we have a bone to pick, it's with the limited scope of the kitchenette, but there's just enough equipment for preparing simple meals.

When you want to see a little more of the local area, the famous Moulin Rouge is less than five minutes' walk away and is one of a good number of entertainment venues and restaurants nearby. The similarly iconic Sacré-Coeur is only twenty minutes away on foot too and offers spectacular views of the French capital from its steps.
