Ideally located in the trendier part of the central 2nd arrondissement, this spot is not only well connected, but you'll also find endless attractions right on your doorstep. The apartment boasts a traditional style that is complemented by stunning artwork for a sophisticated look. While we found the bathrooms to be a little basic, the home makes up for it with a separate study and library, airy bedrooms and a spacious and practical kitchen-diner. A family looking for a home with quintessential Parisian charm and a central location will find The Race delivers a Plum-worthy stay.

Home truths:
* The master and third bedroom are connected by a door with glass panes that doesn't offer complete privacy

* We found the decor in the bedrooms to be a little sparse

* There is no air conditioning in this home

* There is a nursery in the ground floor so you should expect to hear the children playing during the day
