Reflections in Blue Paris, Île-de-France

Property Description

This apartment, in the heart of the Marais, is bright, quiet and comfortable – it’s exactly what you need from a place that’s within easy reach of Paris’ central sights. You’ll notice a restrained approach to the interior design; a stylish Scandi dining set provides a modern contrast to the intricate moulding details, a hint of the home’s grand past. Make like a local and idly sip your morning espresso by the enormous windows or recline on the couch with a dog-eared paperback. Munch on croissants with fresh fig jam, put together in your tidy kitchen or seek out a local café for a traditional Parisian breakfast. Your neighbourhood is renowned for its romantic cobblestone streets bursting with boutiques and jewellers – weave through narrow thoroughfares to the Maison de Victor Hugo, a seven-minute walk away or people-watch in Place des Vosges, the city’s oldest square. Unmistakable sights are within easy reach, too. The Notre Dame will take you a leisurely twenty minutes by foot, while the dazzling Palais Garnier is a quick eight-minute trip on the metro – catch Line 7 from the Pont Marie (Cité des Arts) stop.
