Close to Gare du Nord in the centre of Paris, this suave and sophisticated apartment is everything you want in one of the fashion capitals of the world. The leafy boulevards surrounding the apartment are home to bakeries serving fresh bread and croissants, pavement cafés and typically Parisian bistros lit by candlelight. Should you wish to explore further afield – Notre Dame or The Louvre for example – the metro stop (a minutes’ walk away) can have you in the very heart of Paris in less than ten minutes. Big French windows let the light stream into the living room, and East-Asian influence creates a calming space to return to after a day in the City of Lights. The dine-in kitchen is particularly spacious with a grand dining table big enough for the whole group and sleek black cabinets hiding everything you need for self-catering. Neutral tones in each bedroom will lull you to sleep, and there’s a dedicated work desk in the second bedroom should you need to catch up on emails.
