The Atelier Paris, Île-de-France

Holiday Rental Description

Just across the road from the Seine and a four-minute walk from the historic Place de la Bastille, this chic, modern apartment provides an artsy base from which to explore the city’s most famous sights. Wood floors and contemporary furnishings provide an instantly stylish welcome in the main living space with large windows proffering views of the Bastille. We love the carefully curated design in this room, from the layered pendant lighting above a solid wood table to the blue feature wall and clever mirrored doors that slide back to reveal a sleek kitchenette – ideal for cooking up feasts with fresh produce from Marché Bastille (a six-minute walk). The bedrooms, too, have been styled with a keen eye – we particularly like the master’s Parisian feature wall Factor in the Bluetooth sound system for soirées soundtracked by Edith Piaf, the luxurious rainfall shower and the tub that invites long soaks with a glass of bubbly after a day of sightseeing, and you’re all set for a relaxing time. Speaking of exploring, you’re just a twenty-minute walk from the cool Marais district as well as Notre Dame, a thirty-minute stroll from Père Lachaise Cemetery and a thirty-five-minute walk from the Louvre.
