Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
You’ll find this cosy apartment in the 5th arrondissement, just a five-minute walk from the Jardin du Luxembourg and fifteen minutes from the Panthéon. While compact, the home has everything a couple or solo traveller could need for a fuss-free break – the bed is comfortable and the quiet courtyard view means you’ll get a good night’s sleep. While there is a kitchenette here, it’s better suited for rustling up quick snacks, but there are plenty of restaurants on the doorstep for slap-up dinners.

Local guide
About Montparnasse & Catacombs
This part of town is mostly residential but works well as a base for exploring the charms of the nearby 6th and the 7th arrondissements. It was famously home to a community of prominent twentieth-century artists and intellectuals - Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, Max Ernst and Pablo Picasso to name a few. Parc Montsouris is one of the city's most colourful public spaces and well worth seeking out. Be sure to check out the Roman Catacombs too if you're of the morbid disposition - stacks of skulls and bones await you!

Slurp on noodles at My Noodles
It's fascinating to watch the chef pull and shape the restaurant's noodles from the entrance. Everything on the menu is homemade and we personally recommend the spicy beef lamen and the Pekin ravioli.

A stone's throw from the Jardin du Luxembourg, this former workshop, turned museum exposes the work of the Russian sculptor Ossip Zadkine who gifted his works to the city.
