This wonderful home is at the heart of the historic Marais district, with its fashionable bars and restaurants, chic boutiques and narrow, medieval streets packed with museums. Art lovers will be glad to know that the Musée National Picasso-Paris is just a ten-minute walk away, as is the Pompidou Centre. So, the location is pretty impressive, but so is this incredible apartment. It's housed in a grand 18th-century palace in a quiet and beautiful courtyard, lined with pots of Magnolias. As soon as you step into the stunning hall, you're greeted with warm stone walls and lemon trees. There are two living rooms here, so it's ideal for a family or group of friends wanting plenty of space. With interesting antiques from the owners' travels, the elegant interiors take inspiration from Mediterranean and Chinese culture – we adore this place, it's sure to be a talking point.
