A Thousand Words

Holiday Rental Description

Between the buzzing centre of Paris and the super chic Le Marais neighbourhood, this art-filled apartment is ideal for creative types. It’s a ten-minute walk to the world-class collection of the Louvre, and thirteen minutes to Notre Dame. But stick around in Le Marais, and you’ll find niche museums, bijou boutiques and galleries, and trendy bars. The apartment itself is in a handsome Haussmann building of big windows and wrought-iron balconies. Stepping inside feels like stepping into one of the chichi galleries of Le Marais as big, bold contemporary artworks adorn the white walls in high-ceiling rooms. The French windows in the living room look out over an internal courtyard, so it’s blissfully quiet – perfect if you want to curl up on the velvet sofa with a book from the mini-library. The kitchen is all sleek modernism, with a quartz island and sunny breakfast table for a morning coffee and croissant.
