Enjoy the French capital from its heart and opt for this luminous abode in the third arrondissement. With an interrupted vista of the Pompidou Centre and classic Parisian rooftops from the living room windows, there's no risk of you forgetting where you are when you stay here.

The home has been elegantly decorated with a bright, restful palette. This, combined with the third-floor position and sunny aspect, means the rooms are lit up at all hours and exude a tangible sense of openness. Sink into the sofa and enjoy the view – or your favourite Netflix show – and when you get peckish, the kitchen houses everything you need to whip up an easy meal.

The best of Paris is on your doorstep, whether you fancy walking the charming streets of Le Marais or ticking the Notre Dame off your bucket list. After dark, head to the Latin Quarter (just fifteen minutes on foot) to sip sauvignon in one of the many buzzy wine bars.
