Tucked into the 3rd arrondissement, this apartment puts you at the heart of one of Paris's most characterful neighbourhoods – with bakeries, restaurants, and a supermarket all close by. The Centre Pompidou is a seven-minute walk, and Étienne Marcel metro is just three-minutes on foot, making the rest of the city easy to reach. Back home, sunlight fills both the living room and dining area, giving you a cheerful place to recharge between adventures. The Vélib bike-share station nearby is a bonus if you'd rather explore the city at your own pace.

About Paris
Standing proud as the most visited city in Europe – they don't call Paris the city of lights for nothing.
