Vetted by our experts

A six-minute walk from Saint-Paul metro station, Le Village Saint-Paul certainly lives up to its name. While it’s set in the central 4th arrondissement, there’s a tranquil, village-like feel to this small region – but with a huge personality. From baroque churches to hip restaurants, history and modernity combine to create a unique place, as does this striking duplex apartment. In a 17th-century townhouse three minutes from the banks of the Seine, your life is about to become a Parisian movie (not just because this building has been used as a filming location). After ascending the grand staircase, your hand gliding up the wrought-iron railings, step into scenes of pure creativity and originality. Something between a cottage, apartment, and palace, this...

Peace of mind guaranteed with every booking.

We promise expert-vetted homes, total transparency and exceptional service.
