A trip to Paris is always a magical experience – particularly when your base is as romantic and charming as this rare gem of an apartment. Situated on the Left Bank and overlooking the majestic Notre Dame, you could hardly ask for a more enchanting spot.

But the thrills aren’t confined to the location alone – the inside is just as exciting. We love the old-world feel of this place, with its high ceilings, wooden floors and ornamental wall carvings. The host also made every effort to preserve the apartment’s period ambience – you’ll find yourself surrounded by unique art pieces, plush furnishings and of course those decorative fireplaces are impossible to resist. Kick off your shoes and relax after a long day of exploring the City of Light, snuggling up on the sofa or enjoying a light supper for two at the dining table.

While the kitchenette is compact in size and more suited for preparing quick meals rather than elaborate feasts, there’s certainly no shortage of great restaurants in the vicinity, should you crave a fine dining experience.

Before you head for a night of sweet dreams in the cosy bedroom, strategically positioned on the side of the building which faces away from any street noise, why not relax and unwind with a luxurious bubble bath in the marble bathroom.

Outside your front door, you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to all the breathtaking sites which can be easily accessed from here – from the bohemian streets of the Latin Quarter to the vibrant Marais, and of course, those romantic riverside walks, Paris will welcome you in all its glory.
