Nestled on the Left Bank, this apartment matches its bohemian surroundings perfectly. The owner is an artist, so there's creative flair here in spades. Vintage furniture, bold colours, eclectic decor (yes, that's a polar bear in the kitchen) – we love every eccentric detail. Most of all, though, we adore the stunning views of the Basilique Sainte-Clotilde, which you can glimpse from the living room or, even better, on the private balcony. And we can't forget the unbeatable location. Whether you want to take it slow with book browsing and alfresco dining or pick up the pace and do some sightseeing, you'll be well-placed here to experience the best of Paris.
