This three-level townhouse is just the ticket for families and larger groups. The design is comfortable and cosy – albeit slightly dated – but there's plenty of space to sprawl out. During the summer, the terrace calls for dinner and drinks alfresco, while the piano inside is perfect for singalongs. Each bedroom also has a desk if working from home is on the cards. Though it's not in the centre of Paris, Suresnes is a quiet suburb with transport links to all the must-sees. It's flanked by the Bois de Boulogne and the Seine – both great options for afternoon strolls.

Home truths:
*The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.
*As is common in France, the WCs are separate from the bathroom. These aren't photographed but expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*Children under 2 years old are not allowed here.
*This is a traditional townhouse spread over three levels. All the bedrooms are located on the upper floors.
*Parking isn't provided. However, a car isn't needed in this location. Bus stops and a streetcar station are a short walk away.
