Tucked into a quiet courtyard on Rue de Birague, this Le Marais apartment sits just a stone's throw from Place des Vosges – one of Paris's great addresses. Old stone meets considered modern design in the living space, and the basement home cinema, with its vaulted stone ceiling, makes for a compelling reason to stay in after dark. A sauna on the lower level is a rare find this central, and Notre-Dame Cathedral is around seventeen-minutes' walk away when you're ready to explore.
