Views of greenery from a wall of glass, in the middle of the city? You can tell this duplex apartment has been renovated by an architect. A floor-to-ceiling wall of glass fills the space with natural light. The decor is a soothing medley of Scandi-chic pieces in dove-grey and sunshine yellow. The striking black kitchen is tucked beneath the mezzanine bedroom for meals at home and there’s a soaking tub in the bathroom for post-sightseeing relaxation.

You’re a little out of the city centre here, so you can get under the skin of one of Paris’ residential neighbourhoods at the local bistros and bakeries. When you want to head into the big-hitters – the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame and The Louvre – it’s just a two-minute stroll to the Convention metro stop, ready to whisk you into the city centre.

Home truths:
*You'll need to climb a set of stairs to reach the mezzanine bedroom, so this place may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
*At capacity, two people will be on the sofa bed in the open living room
*CCTV is in operation outside the apartment
*There is no parking with this home but there are public carparks at Rue de Vaugirard and Rue d'Alleray
