Those looking for a central stay in Paris – where countless dining, shopping and entertainment options are right on the doorstep – need look no further than this beautiful apartment in the city’s Grands Boulevards district. Setting an elegant scene with its grey colour palette and contemporary furnishings, this home exudes the kind of chic pared-back sophistication you’d expect of a Parisian pad. We love the sociable open-plan layout of the main living room with its pair of sofas that face each other and the dining table that’s ready to host soirées over some French cheese and a bottle of wine. Both bedrooms, meanwhile, are understated and comfortable, with one having its own shower. Outside of your home Galeries Lafayette offers some of the city’s best retail therapy (a twenty-minute walk away), the Canal Saint-Martin is ideal for a waterside café au lait (a fifteen-minute walk), while the vibrant Marais district is a twenty-five-minute stroll away. Factor in the Musée du Cholocat that’s also just a five-minute walk and you’re in for the sweetest of stays.
