This dreamy apartment, decked out in pastel hues, provides the perfect Parisian escape. It's part of a building completed in 1800, and is filled with antiques and charming details. You'll fall in love with the intricately carved fireplace, painted wooden beams and pretty lights from the famous artisanal house Maison Lucien Gau. Start your days with americanos and pastries at the breakfast bar, before heading out to explore the city. Several of the main sights are within easy walking distance – the Pompidou Centre is just 100 metres away, and both the Louvre and Notre Dame are a fifteen-minute walk away. Even closer to home, you can spend hours losing yourself in the winding streets of Le Marais, a historic neighbourhood that has plenty of local restaurants to try. After all that, you'll love retreating to your whimsical bedroom, and admiring the views of the Parisian streets before it's time for lights out.
