Every corner of this home reads like a masterclass in stylish Parisian living – and we'd expect nothing less from a bolthole in the heart of the well-heeled 8th arrondissement. With some of the city's best sights at your feet, they call this district the golden triangle for good reason.

Take a stroll along the broad, tree-shaded avenue of Champs-Elysées flanked by luxury shops. Follow the hipsters down to Le Marais to browse its independents and interior stores. And when thoughts turn to food and a glass of something crisp, take your pick from Michelin-starred restaurants to tasty street food dotted about this district's charming medieval streets.

When it's time to put your feet up back at home, this exquisite apartment set in a handsome historic building delivers all the Parisian flair you're chasing. Fling the Juliette balcony doors open wide to let the sunshine in, then rustle up an Apero spread with a glass of something chilled and bubbly to savour from the high-style lounge area. And when it's finally time to say bonne nuit, there's crisp-white sheets and restful interiors awaiting in the two immaculately-presented bedrooms.

Home truths:
