Chapéu! Paris, Île-de-France

Property Description

In the artsy Le Marais neighbourhood of Paris, you’re well-placed to explore typically Parisian boulevards and narrow streets packed with bistros, art galleries and boutiques. Further afield you’ll find Notre Dame cathedral a twenty-minute stroll away and the Filles du Calvaire metro stop is a six-minute walk, so you can explore every corner of the City of Lights with ease. Don't let the 17th-century exterior fool you; in artistic terms, this bijou apartment is a work of minimalist, modern art. Bright white walls allow the view of the (very quiet) courtyard from big French windows to be the main focus. Herringbone floor is a nod to traditional and the overall feel is something of an artist’s studio. The kitchen is a picture of sleek modernity in monochrome black against white and not a hint of clutter. Bar stools at the breakfast bar with pedals and a bike chain add a bit of quirkiness a la Tour de France.

Home truths:
