Sitting on the artsy Left Bank right by the Seine, this apartment is about as well-placed as Paris gets. Ancient oak beams, herringbone parquet, and a marble fireplace give the living room real character, while morning light floods the dining area overlooking a quiet, ivy-clad courtyard. The main suite has an island bathtub positioned towards the window – an indulgent touch. Pont des Arts is around a three-minute walk, the Musée d'Orsay ten minutes on foot, and the Louvre the same – which means the best of the city is yours without having to venture far.

About Saint Germain des Prés - Odéon
Saint-Germain-des-Prés has it all: location, buzz, romance, a bohemian past, luxury shopping, art galleries, as well as famous monuments, historic churches and of course its iconic cafes, where intellectuals like Sartre and Hemingway used to hang out back in the day.
