Nestled in Nantes, not far from the city centre, you’ll find this charming apartment. Exuding elegance, this is a home that has character that it wants to show off. Calming pastel colours in the living area sit alongside a feature wall with the most stunning wallpaper – it certainly packs a punch. We love the contemporary hanging light bulbs over the dining table, and the comfortable sofa just invites you to sink into it and relax.

A yellow palette flows throughout this home, bright in the kitchen but more muted in the bedrooms, it gives the apartment a sunny, tranquil feel. A small balcony provides the perfect spot for a morning coffee, so switch the machine on when you wake up, and stroll out to enjoy an alfresco drink as the city wakes beneath you.

When you’re ready to explore, you’re well placed to do so with the Place Royale and Place Graslin just a ten-minute walk from your apartment. For food lovers, the Talensac market is not to be missed with around 150 stalls offering local produce – the seafood from here is particularly special. Stock up on some local treats and head back home where they can be enjoyed in the company of your loved ones, as you reminisce over a day well spent.
