Nestled between the St-Germain district and Notre Dame, this contemporary apartment is ideal whether you’re in the city for business or leisure. Kitted out with everything needed for a comfortable stay, the one thing to note is that as a party of four, two people will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area. Still, it’s a small price to pay for the location. With the River Seine nearby, you can enjoy a scenic stroll along the banks, or cross the river to visit Notre Dame, a must-see while in Paris.

About Paris
Standing proud as the most visited city in Europe – they don't call Paris the city of lights for nothing.
