In the heart of the 12th arrondissement, this homely apartment is a perfect pick for families on a Parisian getaway. We love the living area with a separate lounge off to the side, bathed in light from the generous windows and making it the ideal spot to relax. Sure, as a party of five, two people will draw the short straw and sleep on a sofa bed, but as it’s in a separate bedroom, you’ll still enjoy privacy. Locally, you’re just a stone’s throw from the River Seine, so scenic tours of Paris are never far away.
