Diamond Folies

Holiday Rental Description

Housed in a building once owned by a diamond dealer, this gorgeous apartment close to Paris’ Grands Boulevards is an undeniable gem. From its high corniced ceilings to its parquet flooring and tall French windows giving way to wrought-iron Juliet balconies, there’s an air of unmistakable sophistication that feels as chic as it does laid-back. We love the tropical mural on the living room’s wall that marries so perfectly with the parlour palm, and the grand dining table that’s all set to host intimate soirées over French wine. The two bedrooms are pared-back yet stylish with bold block-colour statement walls and beautifully-tiled en-suites that will make waking up a treat. There’s even a desk space in the master for when business calls, but we recommend less work and more play when you’re in the City of Light. Outside of your home, the famous Folies Bergères is just a minute walk away, while both the Louvre and Montmartre’s iconic Sacré-Cœur Basilica are a twenty-minute stroll from your door.
