Juliet balconies in the bedrooms, white-painted shutters, open-plan living – this place nails that effortless Parisian elegance. You’re in the Archives, which might not be the first neighbourhood that springs to mind, but trust us – it’s one of the city’s best-kept secrets. Leafy and low-key, it feels a world away from the crowds, yet you're a short stroll from the galleries of Le Marais, the buzz of Bastille and the calm of Canal Saint-Martin. There’s no air con, but we’ll take French windows and a warm breeze any day – it just feels more Paris that way.
