This 19th-century apartment invites you to experience the history of Paris up close and personal. Though the classic interior style might not appeal to some, we're certain that the south-facing terrace could win anyone over. Prefer dining indoors? A formal space awaits, plus a casual spot in the kitchen. There's no air conditioning for the summer, but this home remains a charming pick for those seeking a city break. Set on the Rue de Martignac, you'll find famous sights easy to reach.
