This compact but cosy flat in the 20th arrondissement of Paris is an ideal base for couples or small groups exploring the capital. While there's not tonnes of room, there is a small balcony that's perfect for a breath of fresh air and a bit of people-watching. In this location, it’s a short stroll to local cafés, bars, and the beautiful Gothic Père-Lachaise Cemetery. With a metro station just around the corner, reaching the city’s top sights is easy – Le Marais is just thirty minutes away, and you can reach the Atelier des Lumières in twenty. Spend mornings strolling local squares with a coffee, then set off to explore the very best of Paris.
