This home is located in what Napoleon considered to be the jewel of Paris – Place des Vosges. It belongs to a painter and her influence is everywhere, with an impressive collection of art adorning the walls, unique pieces of furniture and even a sculpture or two. Maximalism is the order of the day here, but with such charming Parisian flair, we dare even the most dedicated minimalist not to fall in love with this home. It also delivers on the amenities front with plenty of space to socialise and air-conditioned bedrooms. The winding streets of Le Marais are right on your doorstep, leading you to art galleries, boutiques and plenty of bistros where you can stop and watch the world go by. And, if you want to see the city, there are three different Metro stations within a five minute walk from the apartment.
