White Cocoon Paris, Île-de-France

Property Description

Housed in a beautiful Haussmann building, this is a sophisticated, well-decorated home in the affluent 13th arrondissement. Close to the Latin Quarter, the neighbourhood is fairly untouched by tourists, and consequently very quiet. Locally, there are many typical bistros, cheery cafés, and bakeries to sink your teeth into, while it's just a stone's throw away from Olympiades station with good links into the centre of Paris – hop on the metro and be at the Panthéon and Luxembourg Gardens in less than half an hour. The apartment itself is bright and elegant, thanks to the belle époque decor and styling. Not to mention the ornate wall mouldings, antique furnishings and wrought-iron balcony that will transport you back to a bygone era of masquerade balls and 15th-century grandeur. Your host is warm and welcoming to boot, making this a great choice for those guests who are planning a long, enjoyable stay under the City of Lights.

*This home is not in a central location, but it's a two-minute walk from the nearest metro
*The WiFi connection is not as strong as we’d ideally want it to be

*There is no air conditioning throughout this apartment, so it might get hot during the summer months
*This home is unsuitable for infants and toddlers
