Built in the late 19th century as a Parisian bolthole for a French aristocratic family, this plush apartment combines old-world opulence with modern sophistication. We loved the expertly restored original features – namely the solid wood floors and wall mouldings – as well as the nods to Rococo interior design, exemplified by the bedframes and glass chandeliers. Arise in elegant bedrooms and breakfast at the jewel-toned dining set before ticking off the must-visits on your itinerary. Culture buffs should make a beeline for the Louvre or Pompidou Centre – you’re a fifteen-minute walk from both. Take a leisurely twenty-five-minute stroll south to the Notre Dame or hop on the metro at Bonne Nouvelle and arrive at the unmistakable Eiffel Tower in just over thirty minutes.

Home truths:
*This is a self-check-in home with a lockbox
*If the keys to the apartment are lost, you will be charged €170
*The lift is small and can only accommodate two people or one person and a piece of luggage at a time
*Guests five and six will sleep on the sofa bed in the living space – if you’re looking for a home with ample space for socialising, we’d recommend this home for four guests only
*Child-friendly amenities such as a fold-up cot and high chair are available only upon request and prior to your arrival
