Louvre Luck Paris, Île-de-France

Property Description

Overlooking the Louvre's eastern colonnade and the intricately carved church of Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois, the history and magic of Paris are drawn into the fabric of this home. Situated in a charming building dating back to 1865, the more modern interiors are a lesson in eclectic maximalism, with a plush double-sided red couch for kicking your feet up, warm gold curtains framing views of the church and museum and a playfully feline rug. The bedrooms carry the same decorative spirit with joyous floral wallpaper and melon-coloured throws and artwork. In the mornings, enjoy a sharp espresso and croissant on the balcony with views over the iconic boulevard and its stately buildings. You’ll need a strong coffee for your busy day in the heart of Paris. You’re only a two-minute walk from The Louvre, where you could spend a few days wandering its massive halls. Once you’ve gotten your share of art and want some fresh air, you’re a stone’s throw from the Seine River and the beautiful Pont Neuf, as well as a fifteen-minute walk from the manicured hedges and stone fountains of Le Jardin des Tuileries – it's the perfect spot for an afternoon picnic of wine and baguette.
