Set right on the Seine, this elegant apartment puts some of Paris’s most iconic landmarks centre stage. Situated on the fifth floor, it enjoys uninterrupted views across the river to the Louvre and Tuileries Garden. The balcony makes the most of the prime position – the perfect setting for slow breakfasts or evening apéritifs. Steps from the Musée d’Orsay and Place des Invalides, it’s a superb launchpad for exploring on foot, with river walks, galleries and grand boulevards all close by. Owned and lived in by a local family, the rooms are filled with tasteful, one-of-a-kind pieces and a warm, lived-in feel that gives the space real character. Air conditioning throughout and a lift – both somewhat rare finds in central Paris – add an extra layer of comfort.
