The Convent

Holiday Rental Description

Set in an old annex of the Convent of the Daughters Calvary, this quiet loft is a breath of fresh air, overlooking a tranquil, leafy courtyard with trees. Inside, it’s a culinary dream – with an open-plan kitchen finished in Carrara marble that features top-of-the-line equipment. Fix up meals to enjoy at the large antique wooden dining set, before unwinding in the living area and soaking in views of the surrounding trees. You’ll also find a freestanding tub for luxurious end-of-day soaks and private desk space in the loft for finishing up any last-minute emails. Every detail here has been carefully considered, a charming mix of vintage and iconic pieces makes it the perfect destination for design geeks. You’ll be around the corner from the bustle of Le Marais, with its concept stores, boutiques, restaurants and cafes. Art lovers can visit the Picasso museum, just six minutes away, or walk slightly further to the Centre Pompidou, nineteen minutes from home and full of contemporary art.
