Vetted by our experts
A small home that's packed full of charm and character and full to the brim with trinkets from our host's travels around the world. Incredibly furnished with antiques, treasures, art and sculptures and perfectly located to boot, this home is hard to complain about. Based in the heart of the Latin Quarter, you get a great view of the Place de la Contrescarpe from the bright living room. It should be warned, Trinkets & Travels is only available for a long stay booking rather than a tourist trip to Paris.
We promise expert-vetted homes, total transparency and exceptional service.
