Planted in the Latin Quarter, this apartment puts some of Paris's most iconic corners within easy reach – Notre-Dame is six-minutes on foot, Shakespeare and Company a three-minute walk, and Sainte-Chapelle's medieval stained glass just five-minutes away. Back inside, the living and dining space is built for long evenings in: gather around the table after a day of wandering, or simply plan tomorrow's itinerary over a good bottle. With the Saint-Michel Notre-Dame metro a quick jump from the door, the rest of the city is no effort at all.
