On a typically Parisian street in the Bastille neighbourhood, this apartment radiates ultra-modern cool. On your street, you’ve got classic French bistros with seating spilling out onto the pavement under awnings and chi chi little gallery shops. A two-minute stroll away are the café-lined banks of the Canal Saint-Martin and the Place de Bastille where myriad metro stations can whisk you to Notre Dame and The Louvre in less than ten minutes.

Positioned on an internal courtyard, this apartment is a haven of calm in the city. Everything inside is crisp white and raw wood with fawn and stone touches. Pops of modern art liven up gallery-white walls and an exposed brick wall adds a bit of a warehouse-chic vibe. Our favourite spot has to be the private courtyard terrace, which is blissfully quiet and has alfresco dining set up if you wish.

Home truths:
*This is a duplex apartment on the ground floor so the internal stairs may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
*Two guests can be accommodated on the sofa bed in the living room
*There is no parking with this home but you are in the centre of Paris with metro stations an easy walk away
*In typical Parisian fashion, the WC is in one room, the shower is in another
*This home is right next to a school – it might get noisy at times
