Vetted by our experts
As smart as a three-piece suit but with a touch of boldness, this home in the Arsenal district is conveniently located at a safe distance from the hordes of tourists of the Marais, but still close enough to be able to join the party. Overall spacious and decluttered, it still boasts some personality and would suit either a small group or even a couple looking to have some extra space, with its TV room that doubles up as a bedroom. This home's secret weapon? – its terrace offers partial views of some of Paris' most iconic (and taller) sights.
We promise expert-vetted homes, total transparency and exceptional service.
