Set in the Bastille neighbourhood, this home is set between the Place de la Bastille and the Place de la Nation and is less than a ten-minute walk from the Marais district. Modern and bright, it's all about comfort and space. Built in a traditional style with high ceilings and numerous tall windows, it's been thoughtfully laid out and furnished with a mix of contemporary and vintage pieces. The heart of the apartment is the sociable, open-plan living space. A wall of bookshelves means there's always reading material to flick through, and the big windows flood it with light. Cosy up on the big, squashy sofa, cook in the contemporary kitchen and sink into the comfy beds – with each bedroom boasting a luxury shower room. Surrounded by excellent places to eat, drink and shop, this is a top choice for a stay in the city centre.
