Home truths

  • This detached home is set over two levels.

  • The courtyard is shared.

  • As is common in France, the toilet is also separate from the bathroom. Also, one bathroom has a bath with a hand-held shower.

  • Parking in Paris can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to walking to amenities or using public transport where possible. Many attractions are within walking distance, and there's a bus stop nearby.
