Light is the real pleasure of this Le Marais apartment – the living space catches it through the day, and the dining area is a good place to linger over a slow morning before the city takes over. Facing a courtyard, it stays calm despite one of Paris's liveliest neighbourhoods on the doorstep. Arts et Métiers metro station is a two-minute walk, and the Centre Pompidou is five-minutes on foot, with Place des Vosges a pleasant eighteen-minute stroll away – enough variety to fill several days without repeating yourself.
