Renoir's Lanes

Holiday Rental Description

We love all the little details in this Montmartre flat, from the ornate crown moulding and elaborate ceiling roses to Juliet balconies on the big windows. There's no doubt it's charming, but it also has all the 21st-century comforts any traveller would crave – a kitchen stocked with cookware, a lavish rainfall shower in the en-suite and a desk for at-home working. As a bonus, there's even a view of the Eiffel Tower – it can't get much more Parisian than that.

Outside, Montmartre and its bohemian atmosphere await. Here, artists paint along the sidewalks and cafes, bakeries, eateries and art galleries line the winding, cobbled streets. It's Paris at its finest, and the views from Sacré-Cœur – just a thirteen-minute walk away – are pretty breathtaking. South Pigalle's bars and theatres aren't far if you're craving a night on the town, while a quick ride on the metro will get you around the city with ease – perfect if you're in town to sightsee.

Home truths:
*As is common in France, the toilet is separate from the shower room
*A car isn't necessary in Paris and arranging parking can be tricky – instead of driving, explore on foot or take advantage of the city's excellent public transport
*There is a desk, but the dining table can also double as a laptop-friendly workspace
