It would suit a large group or family planning to split their time between hitting the must-dos of Paris and discovering a neighbourhood that's brimming with activities and attractions, including Le Centre Pompidou — less than fifteen minutes' walk away. Despite this enviable position in the middle of the French capital, we found it to be quieter than we were expecting.

Nice to haves

A loft-style home, this spacious one-bedroom apartment near République seems perched amid Paris' rooftops. The home has been decorated in neutral tones - with white, grey, beige and charcoal - making it a calming haven from which to discover Paris' cultural hotspots. You're also just a short stroll away from the North Marais and its multitude of cafes and art galleries.

The Tranquil Two

Housed in a charming Haussmanian building in Paris’ vibrant Marais district, this bright, eclectic home is just the ticket for those looking for a central stay with plenty of fashionable flair. 
 
Beautifully curated to marry a blend of styles and decors, this home boasts Parisian style in spades. The first of the two living areas is boldly modern with its bright colour block cubby cabinets packed with books and curios and a long dining table that beckons sociable soirées over locally bought wine and cheese. Open the French windows here and perch by the Juliet balconies – there’s plenty of people-watching to be enjoyed here, a coffee or a sundowner in hand. 
 
The second study – which also acts as a second bedroom – is a more classical affair with warm-hued walls, a Persian-style rug and a desk space should you need to catch up on work. Tuck yourself away here with one of the books from the shelves or take advantage of the second set of French windows offering yet more Marais rooftop views. 
 
With a stylish comfortable bedroom and a bathroom complete with a rainfall shower, you’ve got everything you need for a relaxing, carefree stay. 
 
When you’re ready to venture out for some sightseeing, stroll around the Marais with its countless vintage shops, bustling bistros and cosy coffee shops, or make a beeline for the cultural Centre Pompidou, a seven-minute walk away. You’re also a seventeen-minute stroll from the world-famous Louvre, while Notre Dame Cathedral is twenty minutes away on foot.


Parador

Perfect for art lovers, this apartment is just a short stroll from the Pompidou Centre and the Picasso Museum. Located in the quintessential Parisian district of Le Marais, you’ll be surrounded by cobblestone streets and pavement cafes. We love the mix of old and new in this home, as well as the large windows which really light up the space. With a choice of dining areas – a breakfast bar for sociable snacks and three adjoining bistro tables for group mealtimes – even at full occupancy (with guests five and six sleeping on the sofa bed) there’s room for everyone.


Art of Living

Nestled in Le Marais, this apartment promises a comfortable spot for a Paris getaway. Modern and bohemian in style, you’ll find everything you need here for a fuss-free stay. The bedroom is on the mezzanine, so be prepared to climb some stairs here, and while the kitchen is compact, it’s perfectly well equipped for preparing light meals. Location is everything, and lucky for you, this apartment is within walking distance of trendy eateries, galleries, boutiques and iconic cultural institutions, including The Centre Pompidou and Le Louvre.

This apartment’s address is great – it’s a short walk from the Musée des Arts et Métiers and the Centre Pompidou. Other places of interest within walking distance include the Louvre Museum and Palais Royal. Back at this apartment, we love the views from the open-plan living room’s balcony of the typically Parisian architecture. This room also sleeps guests three and four on a comfy sofa bed. Another bonus of staying here is there's free access to a shared gym too – this place is ideal for business and leisure travellers alike.

The Parisian Life

With an address on Place de la République, you’ll find an array of attractions within walking distance of this apartment including the Musée National Picasso-Paris. The Centre Pompidou and vibrant Le Marais are also reachable on foot with its restaurants, bars and boutiques. Housed in a Haussmannian gem, this home has an elegant balcony overlooking the esplanade. There’s a grand open-plan living area which sleeps guests eleven and twelve on a sofa bed – there’s a well-appointed kitchen here too. We also love the main bedroom’s freestanding bathtub and a couple of the bedrooms have a desk if you need to work while away. This place offers a chance to stay amid Paris’s rich historic tapestry.

Located in the buzzing Haute Marais, this bright apartment offers a comfortable, central base for those looking to be within easy walking distance of Paris’ most iconic sights. Boasting a pared-back yet chic decor, the main open-plan living area allows its large windows to add a touch of dazzle to the proceedings with their ample natural light. The sleek kitchen area beckons breakfasts of fresh coffee and croissants – courtesy of the many local boulangeries and patisseries – while the simple yet cosy bedroom that faces the building’s leafy inner courtyard offers a wonderfully peaceful night’s sleep. With a projector in the second living room – that doubles up as a bedroom – you can enjoy the best of French cinema from your home after a day of sightseeing, or simply curl up on the sofa while listening to some Edith Piaf on the Sonos speakers, a glass of locally bought wine in hand. Outside of your home, the Marais’ colourful, vibrant streets wait to be explored while the Canal Saint-Martin is a ten-minute stroll away.

Set in the heart of the 3rd arrondissement, you’ll be a short stroll from the Pompidou Centre, the Musée des Arts et Métiers and the district of Le Marais. There are a wide range of eateries near this studio apartment and the Palais Royal and the Louvre are also within walking distance. We love the views from the small balcony over the typically Parisian street. And while the living and sleeping space is compact, it has everything you need (one guest will also be sleeping on a sofa bed here at full capacity). This comfy home is ideal for guests looking for a cultural break.

Galleries & Museums

This beautifully renovated apartment is perfect for a couple seeking a romantic base at the heart of Paris. It’s located in the beloved Marais district, close to the Centre Pompidou, Musée National Picasso-Paris, and the Notre-Dame. There are restaurants, cafes, and shops galore, as well as excellent transport links. The apartment is elegant and refined, with a semi-open kitchen, a wonderfully bright living space, and a comfortable bedroom. There’s even a bath to soak in after long days of sightseeing and shopping. You’ll have everything you need here. 

The Marais Dream

Located just a seven-minute walk from Paris’ Grands Boulevards, this elegant apartment exudes style and sophistication with its black, white and grey colour palette as well as its arty photographic prints on the walls. We love the nods to traditional Parisian culture here – like the chandelier and the bistro-style dining table – while decorative touches like the orchids and Buddha statue add a modern worldliness to the proceedings. The two comfortable bedrooms are equally chic with one boasting a desk should you need to catch up on work and both over-looking a traditional Parisian courtyard. Outside of your home, you’ve got plenty to see and do within easy walking distance, including the Louvre (twenty minutes), the vibrant Marais district (fifteen minutes), the Opéra Garnier (twenty-five minutes) and the irresistible Musée du Chocolat (five minutes). 


A Picture Of Chic

Throws

Stair Gates

This artist’s loft might boast some incredibly quirky decor, but it certainly does not feel out of place in the hip Canal Saint-Martin area. Tucked away on a quiet block within this arty quarter, the clean, white facade simply cannot prepare you for the interiors. A joyous cacophony of art and design sings out to you from the moment you step inside. With a unique cartoon mural and Keith Haring-style feature walls, feast your eyes on a space that feels nothing like traditional Paris. The light-hearted and colourful decor is contrasted by the classy dining area, and the sophisticated architecture of the mezzanine bedroom floor. As much as you might like to stay in, the local area is also full of vibrant surprises. Ten minutes away on foot, head for dinner and drinks at the Cour des Petites Écuries, a cool area for eating out with local creative types. And just fifteen minutes from home, one of the city’s oldest districts, Le Marais, is the place to go for unique shops, cafés, and cocktails. Of course, some classic sights of Paris are close by. Place de la République is only a five-minute walk and is also home to a metro stop – ideal for exploring further afield.


Artist's Block

Situated in a prime location in central Paris, this home is the perfect base for sightseeing, cultural exploration, and bucket list trips. You'll be just five minutes' walk from Le Marais, Montorgueil, Centre Pompidou and more, with a plethora of bars, restaurants and galleries on your doorstep. Spend your days taking in the sights before returning to your apartment to kick back and relax. It's on the sixth floor, but there's a lift – something you'll be glad of after all that exploring.

Paris When it Sizzles

Courtyard

Discover this apartment in the heart of Paris. Canal Saint Martin, lined with chestnut trees, is a short walk away, while the vibrant district of Le Marais is also within walking distance. There are a number of restaurants nearby, too, which is convenient as this home’s kitchen is compact and doesn't have an oven, but there's a hob and microwave. The stylish open-plan living space is a great place to relax after a busy day. This room also accommodates two guests on a sofa bed at full occupancy. Don't miss out on booking this comfy home.

La Ville Lumière

Sitting at the heart of the 3rd arrondissement, Le Marais is famously one of Paris’ most creative and colourful quarters. A favourite of writers, artists, and actors, this bohemian area is full of galleries, boutiques, and eclectic cafés. But with so much excitement going on in the local area, you’ll need a relaxed base to come home to. Just a two-minute stroll from the Arts et Métiers metro station, this apartment makes a statement with its understatement. After experiencing the colour and quirks of your locale, the plush, grey interiors allow you to centre yourself. Sink your feet into the thick, fluffy rug, or recline on the soft sofas. Grey, wood-panelled walls bring a vintage look to the space, along with mid-century furnishings and monochrome photography prints of Parisian scenes. You’re reminded of your arty surroundings with the pops of colour from fresh flowers and blue cushions, but the overall theme is one of muted sophistication, and the charming courtyard views add to the calming atmosphere. When you’re recharged and ready to head out, take a wander east to the Canal Saint-Martin. With hip bars and street food by the waterside, why not stay on for a few cocktails – home is just an eleven-minute walk away.

La Cendre

Packed with trendy eateries, vintage shops, and must-see museums, Le Marais is one of the city's most sought-after districts. You'll find this apartment in the heart of all the action. Whether you want to stay local or ride the nearby metro further afield, you couldn't ask for a better base to call home. Uncluttered and minimalist, we love how bright the living space is. There's a small kitchen, a chic dining nook that doubles as a workspace, and a sofa bed for two guests. It's on the first floor and doesn't have a lift, but that aside, it ticks all our boxes for a carefree stay.

Marais Musings

The charming and creative district of Le Marais is home to this equally charming apartment. In Haut Marais, just a six-minute walk from the Filles du Calvaire metro stop, find a little calm and serenity in this bustling area. Scandi-style decor whisks you away from the cobbled streets of this old area of Paris, and into a fresh, elegant flat. Modern furniture dominates the open-plan living and dining spaces, with rich wooden cabinets and flooring throughout. We love the French windows with their simplistically designed wrought-iron balconies. Slate-grey woven bedspreads, and light grey concrete-style en-suites, bring class and calm to the sleeping spaces. And with classic art prints like Nighthawks adorning the walls, you might get a taste for visiting a few more galleries. The Musée Picasso is only a seven-minute walk, La Galerie de L'instant is only three, and the architectural marvel of the Centre Pompidou is less than fifteen. One minute from home, check out the fresh produce at the Marché des Enfants Rouges, Paris’ oldest food market. We recommend sampling some international street food, before picking up French classics like wine and cheese to enjoy back home in the evening.

Scandi Dreams

Located not far from the place de la République and at the heart of Paris' trendy NoMa (North Marais) district, this modern apartment is both cosy, stylish and perfectly placed. For those looking to tick off that lengthy bucket list, you'll find the Notre Dame just a twenty-five-minute walk away, the Louvre only a minute further (on foot), and the Bastille thirty minutes from your door. While a stroll through your immediate neighbourhood will have you passing hip bars, luxury boutiques and indie art galleries. When – weary from all that culture soaking – you do return home, whip up a hearty meal in that all-too-rare of Paris commodities, a well-equipped and large kitchen, that's perfect for a big family or a group of friends. Fry up a croque madame at the black anthracite cooking island, before sitting down to indulge around the chic dining area with quirky artwork adorning the walls and original lighting above. Fancy an evening in? The calming green-toned living space is the best spot for a wine and cheese night with good company – it feels modern with the colourful leather sofas, yet rustic and homely with the wooden coffee table and serene moody shades. The internal crittall windows are a classy touch too. Elsewhere, you'll find hidden away reading snugs, unique bedrooms with quirky wallpaper prints and artwork, as well as three swanky en-suite bathrooms. Spring has sprung in the Marais. 

Spring in the Marais

Private Dryer

This swish apartment, located in Le Marais, is the definition of contemporary Parisian living. Step through the front door, and you'll find a charming space with wooden floors, chic grey sofas and a collection of black and white photography on the walls. The open-plan layout makes it easy to socialise with your guests as you cook – perhaps you'd like to try some French classics like coq au vin, or simply open a bottle of wine and arrange a charcuterie board of delicious cheeses. The long dining table has space for everyone to gather, while the breakfast bar is ideal for a quick morning coffee before heading out to explore. The surrounding area is well-known for its charming cobbled streets and bohemian atmosphere – you'll find a range of independent boutiques, local restaurants and historic buildings right on your doorstep.

DVD Library

Cafetiere

This two-bedrooms apartment located in the Marais exemplifies the typical home of this district. Recently renovated, it's keep some original elements such as the exposed wood beams, the parquet flooring and the black and white marble in the bathrooms. It would be ideal for a group of friends who want discover this charming neighbourhood. 

Marais Pied-à-Terre

This apartment on the outskirts of Le Marais is the picture of Parisian elegance. With walls painted a sultry blue and plenty of plush furnishings dotted about, we thought this home had the feel of an exclusive members' club. The open-plan kitchen leading straight out onto the living space adds to the air of sociability and makes the place ideal for small soirées. When you're not entertaining, your prime location on the famous Place de la République gives you plenty of options. For a start, the trendy North Marais — or NoMa if you want to impress the locals — is one street to the south, while galleries such as Centre Pompidou and Musée National Picasso-Paris can be reached in twenty minutes on foot.

Parisian Savoir Faire

History and modern elegance come together in this beautifully bright apartment in Paris’ vibrant Marais district. We love the living area’s exposed stone wall, high ceilings and restored wooden floor that nod to the building’s rich past, coupled with sleek contemporary decor that dazzles with its silver finishes and soft furnishings. Tall French windows allow ample light to flow in, and provide the ideal spot by which to perch with your morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. With a polished kitchen and its sociable breakfast bar, mornings are sure to get off on the right foot over fresh croissants and coffee, while the two comfortable bedrooms provide desks should you need to catch up on work. Outside of your home, you’ve got a plethora of boutiques, bistros and bars to discover in your Marais surroundings, while the Centre Pompidou is a thirteen-minute walk away. The Canal Saint-Martin is also a nine-minute stroll from your door, beckoning sunny promenades and long afternoons in its waterside cafés. 


Marais Stone

Set in the heart of Le Marais, one of the most beautiful and lively neighbourhoods of Paris, this home is especially enviable when it comes to its location. You’ll be just two minutes from Marché des Enfants Rouges, a typical Parisian food market where you can pick up fresh produce or try delicious Lebanese fare. You’ll also be surrounded by art on all sides, just an eight-minute walk from the Picasso Museum, twelve minutes from the Carnavalet Museum and fourteen from Centre Pompidou – although the whole neighbourhood, with its narrow cobblestone streets and former mansions, feels a bit like an open-air museum already. The home itself is enviable for its own set of reasons – with original exposed limestone walls and oiled oak floors, its authentic character has been lovingly preserved. There’s a modern kitchen, elegant dining area, massive cosy sectional and our personal favourite – the lovely private courtyard with a dining table for meals alfresco and a vertical garden that’s thriving. Spend early mornings out here with a strong coffee and also some late nights, chatting over a bottle (or two) of good French wine. 

Jardin Vertical

Ideally located in the heart of Paris’ historic Marais district, you’ve got all the romance of this area’s cobbled street, colourful shop fronts and cosy cafés right on your doorstep. And the romance doesn’t stop there – step inside to be met with parquet floors, low-slung beamed ceilings and ample natural light, all tied together with chic modern furnishings to make you feel right at home. 
 
We love the deep pops of blue in the decor and the plush velvet used for the sofa and dining chairs. Kick back with a glass of French wine after a busy day of sightseeing or gather around the elegant dining table for a sophisticated soirée as the city’s lights twinkle just outside. 
 
The two bedrooms have been curated with sumptuous rest in mind, with vibrant murals backing the beds and hotel-quality sheets to make your dreams all the sweeter. And when it’s time to wake up, you’ve got two marble-clad bathrooms complete with rainfall showers to give you a spring in your step for another day of exploring. 
 
Speaking of venturing out, you’ve got plenty to see and do within easy walking distance, including the Centre Pompidou (eight minutes), the Louvre (twenty minutes) and Notre Dame (twenty-three minutes). 


Sophistication in Blue

This elegant apartment is ideally located in the 3rd arrondissement, on bustling Boulevard de Sébastopol. There are lots of shops nearby, and the Metro station is a stone’s throw away. You can walk to popular spots including Centre Pompidou, Musée des Arts et Métiers, and Place du Châtelet in a matter of minutes. The apartment is attractive and comfortable, though, at full occupancy, two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the living space – if you’re hoping for more privacy and room to relax, we’d stick to a guest count of four. 

Breakfast in Paris

Located in the heart of Marais, this charming apartment offers a peaceful haven in the city, yet with many iconic landmarks within easy reach. Warm and welcoming, we love the high ceilings, exposed beams and traditional parquet flooring here, lending the home bags of character. It’s worth noting that at full occupancy, one guest will sleep on the sofa bed in the living room, which we think is best suited to a child – but it’s an ideal option for families. Locally, you’ll find a plethora of cafes, restaurants and museums – culture and gastronomic delights are a mere stone’s throw away. 

Marais on My Mind

Board Games

Thanks to Le Marais' historical character, buildings in this buzzy neighbourhood are traditionally smaller in size – but not this vast loft apartment. An all-too-rare find for bigger groups, this place delivers on style, space, and location.

Hanging out in the atmospheric and ultra-chic living space is a delight with the high ceilings and tall picture windows. And the chilled bottle of bubbles waiting in the contemporary kitchen will help get things off to a flying start. While upstairs, the smartly designed mezzanine level (which doubles as an office space or a cosy sleeping nook for one guest if there's a full house) is a lovely spot to tuck yourself away with a good book or crash out with a film if you'd like some quiet time.

Once you're done lusting over the interiors and it's time to hit the sights, you couldn't ask for a better location. If your idea of a perfect afternoon is spent swanning about an exhibition, this address puts you close to some of the French capital's best galleries. Musée des Arts et Métiers and the Centre Pompidou are both around five minutes on foot from the front door. And though the metro is just a three-minute walk away, we suspect you'll find all you ever needed right here in Le Marais' cool cafes, lively nightlife, and interesting boutiques. 

Chapon's Charm

Piano

Bathrobes

Mini Bar

Designed by the renowned French architect Jean Nouvel's interior design company, this bright apartment just a ten-minute walk from the heart of the Marais is full of beautiful furnishings and characterful details. We love the midnight blue sofa in the living room and the colourful shelves packed with books and DVDs, perfect for quiet evenings in together over drinks – there’s even a minibar stocked with wine made by the host’s family. Open up the French doors here to step out onto a small balcony where a table and chairs invite mornings over coffee and plenty of people-watching. The dining table – with its designer leather chairs – is a sophisticated affair as well. And, with the host offering to organise a private chef, there’s no end to the celebratory meals and superb soirees to be had. While the main room is a carousel of colour, the bedroom has a more pared-back Scandi vibe which creates the perfect canvas for a peaceful night’s sleep. You’ll love waking up and heading to the en-suite bathroom where an Italian rainfall shower provides a relaxing start to any morning. When you’re not hanging out in your chic home, go out and explore the sights. The Marais is full of vintage shops and cosy cafes, while the Louvre Museum and Notre Dame Cathedral are both under a twenty-minute stroll from your door. 


The New Age

You don't need us to tell you that Paris is one of the most stylish cities on the planet — apartments like this do it without needing any words.

Two tall windows on the far side of the living space are particularly generous when it comes to natural light and this asset is accentuated by the wooden floorboards, reflective surfaces and furnishings in muted tones. The kitchen is a minimalist triumph of matt grey surfaces and subtle underlighting, while the rainfall showers in the contemporary bathrooms will make it easier than ever to drag yourself out of bed in the morning.

Rather fittingly for an address that's so easy on the eye, there are plenty of galleries that lie nearby, including Metiers Art Museum and Centre Pompidou both around five minutes' walk away. The independent boutiques and lively nightlife of Le Marais are as easy to reach on foot, too.

Capital of Chic

A utilitarian home with a hint of pizzazz, you'll be based in a central and buzzing neighbourhood in this modern pad. The eclectic decoration celebrates both old and new with quirky original fireplaces, gorgeous painted floorboards and crown mouldings to boot. We love the bright marble bathroom that adds a hint of luxury to an otherwise minimalist space. 

Roboto

Much like happening Le Marais, where you'll find this exquisite apartment, this home marries together the best of old-world elegance with a contemporary aesthetic. 

Housed in a period Hausmann building of handsome proportions, the apartment has been expertly reimagined to create a modern-day lap of luxury.

Perfect for groups of friends coming together for a Parisian getaway, the layout is set up for easy socialising. Spill out in the high-style lounge area with a freshly brewed morning coffee as you hatch plans for the day ahead. Or come together around the bistro-style dining area for nibbles and aperitifs – the statement lighting sets a lovely ambience.

And while you could whip up a three-course meal from the slick and deceptively well-equipped kitchen, why would you with such a happening restaurant scene on your doorstep? And you can easily keep the night flowing in Le Marais’ warren of narrow medieval lanes brimming with buzzy bars.

When it’s time for some sightseeing, hop over the Pont au Change to soak up Sainte-Chapelle’s grandeur (seventeen minutes on foot). Marvel at the masterpieces of da Vinci at the Louvre Museum (twenty minutes on foot). Or jump on the metro at Arts et Métiers (one minute on foot) to uncover other corners of this captivating city. 

Mirror to Mirror

This light-filled Parisian apartment illustrates the power of exquisite craftsmanship and pared-back design to perfection. But we'd expect nothing less from a city bolthole found slap bang in the middle of happening Le Marais.

Housed in a Hausmann building of high and mighty proportions, the designers have meticulously reimagined the space for modern living. 

Wake up in the boutique-feel bedrooms and fling back the Juliet balcony doors to peer down on the city's streets below, then kickstart your day beneath the terrazzo-clad rainfall showers. With each bedroom boasting an ensuite, there's no waiting around here. Then pad across the parquet flooring (heated in winter to keep things toasty) to the living area to fire up the coffee pod machine and hatch plans for your day ahead.

Or you could just wing it and lose yourself to Le Marais' warren of narrow medieval lanes instead. Dotted with characterful bars, independent boutiques, artisan cafes, and art galleries, it's all going on here. But when it's time for a change of scene, the city's must-sees, including the Pont au Change and Louvre Museum, are all just a short jaunt away.  

Terrazzo Dreams

Printer

If you're looking for a home that combines the vintage charms of Paris with a hefty dash of decadence, then this is the place for you. This Marais apartment transports you back to the 17th century with its endless mirrors, breath-taking collection of artworks and maximalist decor. It's ideal for a couple planning a getaway to the city, or perhaps a writer in need of inspiration. It might be hard to tear yourself away from the boudoir, with its free-standing bath and ornate furnishings, but you'll want to explore Rue du Temple, one of Le Marais' most prised streets. Settle into one of the cafés or bistros and watch the world go by, or saunter around the area's numerous galleries for a true flavour of the most romantic city in the world.
