The Denouement

Holiday Rental Description

A few metres from the Champs Elysees, this apartment has all the trappings of a traditional Parisian abode with a modern facelift. Housed on one of the spokes that bloom out from the Arc de Triomphe, it’s a two-minute walk to the luxury shops and cafés of the Champs Elysees, and a three-minute walk sees you at the nearest Metro stop so all of Paris is at your fingertips.

The apartment itself has all the Parisian classics – parquet flooring, floor-to-ceiling French windows and the high ceilings of a 19th-century apartment. Vibrant modern artworks liven up the walls, and old-world touches like the antique writer’s desk and darkwood dining table retain a classy feel. The main bedroom comes with a walk-in wardrobe if you really want to hit the shops, and both bedrooms have desks to get some work done. The bonus is a little wrought-iron balcony with a bistro set, overlooking the leafy boulevard below.
