Tucked into a quiet Haussmannian courtyard on the Left Bank, this apartment has a calm that can be hard to find in central Paris. The living space is bright and inviting, the main bedroom peaceful enough to actually recover from a day of exploring. And the exploring options here are rich – Notre-Dame is an eleven-minute walk, Sainte-Chapelle seven, Shakespeare and Company eight, and Luxembourg Gardens around fifteen. The Odéon metro and the Saint-Michel Notre-Dame RER are each a five-minute walk, making the rest of the city easy to reach.
