Ideal for families, this fourth-floor apartment puts florals front and centre. You’ll have to climb about 76 steps to reach the entrance, so we suggest packing light. That said, we love the romantic, vintage atmosphere here. The living area is decked out in flowery wallpaper, while the large kitchen has all you need to rustle up French favourites. Location-wise, you're sandwiched between the waterside bars and restaurants in Canal Saint-Martin and the fashionable boutiques and artisan shops in Le Marais. There's plenty to see and do in the local area, but when you fancy exploring further afield, multiple metro stations are a short walk away.
