On one of Paris's most storied addresses, this apartment sits at the crossroads of the Latin Quarter, the Jardin du Luxembourg, and the Seine – a location that makes almost any day feel effortless. The interiors hold their own: original plasterwork mouldings, herringbone parquet, and white marble fireplaces give the rooms real Haussmann grandeur, while the kitchen strikes a deliberately moodier note against all that classical elegance. Notre-Dame is around a twenty-one-minute walk, Sainte-Chapelle a nineteen-minute stroll, and the whole Left Bank feels like yours to wander at will.

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!
