Ivory Lights

Holiday Rental Description

You'll find this apartment only a five-minute walk from the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles and its eponymous metro station. Restaurants, shops and the Seine are all a short walk away, but when you can zip to the Concorde and the Champs-Elysées in twenty minutes and the Effiel Tower in thirty via the metro, you'll have plenty of options for sightseeing. After a busy day exploring, pour yourself a glass of French wine, kick off your shoes and sprawl out on the cushy L-shaped sofa. Whether you're playing a game of chess or just watching The Queens Gambit on Netflix, it's hard not to feel relaxed in this bright and modern space. Business travellers can work remotely at the desk while home chefs whip up a meal in the well-stocked kitchen – there's something for everyone here. The interior leans towards contemporary – think Bluetooth speakers, rainfall showers and clean lines – but Juliet balconies on the French windows and the ivory fireplace add some quintessential Parisian charm. It's a perfect getaway in the City of Lights.
