The Sitting Pose Paris, Île-de-France

Property Description

This chic apartment in the 7th arrondissement might be owned by a pair of designers, but it is more than road tested for family life. There's a guaranteed distraction for every age: expect plenty of toys, home cinema, library and craft supplies as well as a speaker to play all your tunes. We particularly loved the open-plan kitchen perfect for keeping an eye on the little ones while you assemble up a French feast. Getting delicious fresh produce is easy, with a delicatessen, bakery and patisserie just a minute's walk away from the flat. The streets around here are charming and tranquil while still being close to some iconic sights – the Eiffel Tower is only a five-minute stroll away. And when you just need to relax, those retro blue chairs are perfect for flopping down as you plan your next adventure.

Home truths:
* The second bedroom has a bunkbed and kid-friendly decor, so would only really suit children

* The third bedroom is a nursery with a cot so is only suitable for a baby

* You are on the top floor here, so it may warm up slightly in the summer – although there is no air-conditioning, fans will be provided

*Some of the artworks depict nudity, so might not be to everyone's taste
