On the Boulevard de Bonne Nouvelle, the 17th century Porte Saint-Denis stands proudly on a site that was once an entrance through the city’s walls. Wouldn’t it be amazing to see spectacular views of this striking archway from the comfort of your home? Your apartment overlooks this historical Parisian landmark, as well as the vibrant boulevard below. Scope out tasty-looking cafés and hip boutiques from the windows of the lounge – a simple, modern space which is a pleasant contrast to the surroundings. Wooden floors, plain blue and grey fabrics, and a sleek white kitchen create a minimalist space which feels airy and easy to relax in. From your understated home, to a massive statement piece of architecture, take a fifteen-minute walk to the Centre Pompidou. Or another fifteen-minute walk east and you’ll reach the colourful Canal Saint-Martin. This area serves up a diverse range of street food and waterside cocktails to its young, creative residents. But if you want to explore beyond local delights, the Strasbourg–Saint-Denis metro stop is under a minute away, making it easy to discover even more hidden corners of Paris.
