Sitting in the heart of Le Marais, this apartment looks out over the Place de la Bastille from the living room – a slice of Paris history framed right from your sofa. Natural light fills the living space, making it an easy place to decompress after a day on the streets. Place des Vosges and Maison de Victor Hugo are both a five-minute walk, while Marché d'Aligre – one of the city's most spirited food markets – is fourteen minutes on foot. The main suite has its own bathroom and a dedicated desk, and a trundle bed in the third bedroom makes the apartment a practical pick for families.

Home truths

  • Parking here can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.
