La Courtisane Paris, Île-de-France

Holiday Rental Description

For a truly unique experience of Paris, try staying in the 7th arrondissement of the city in an ancient religious house. As Marie Antoinette placed the first stone for its construction, this former convent is steeped in history. Its decor takes inspiration from these historic roots, with rustic beams in the bedroom and antique trinkets throughout. This traditional vibe continues with toile de jouy patterns on the curtains and dark wooden furniture. However, the bathroom is perfectly modern and beautifully designed – bright white tiles and a solid marble sink make the space feel stylish yet luxurious. While you've got painted scenes in gilded frames on your own walls, find more art and architecture from the old world at the Palais du Louvre, just fifteen minutes away. After gazing at the Mona Lisa, take a parkland stroll in the Jardin des Tuileries. Walking back over the Pont Royal, the Musée d’Orsay is the next gallery on your tour (only eight minutes from home). Finally, with the Musée Maillol just three minutes away, you’re truly living among the world’s finest art. As the Rue de Bac metro is under a minute from your hidden convent, you can continue to explore the city with ease.
