A generous size for two guests, The Scarlet Pimpernel is hidden in the heart of Paris – a stone's throw away from the Louvre, Place Vendôme and Palais Royal in the 1st arrondissement. The one bedroom is large and comfortable, decorated in a vivid red (hence the name!) and the living room has plenty of space to relax in. We will mention that the bathroom and kitchen are a little dated and you can sometimes hear traffic noise from outside. If you can live with this, however, then you'll be staying in a spacious home in an enviable location.

Local guide
About Louvre - Palais Royal
Where to begin with one of Paris's most majestic and central districts? This was the stomping ground of historic kings, and now its grand palaces and squares are home to museums, galleries, government offices, and luxury shopping. With no fewer than three Royal palaces, the attractions are plentiful in this neck of the woods. If checking out the Mona Lisa with throngs of tourists isn't your thing, we recommend exploring some of the area's quieter hidden gems. Colonnes de Burennes has a gorgeous secret square and Alain Ducasse's world-famous French restaurant 'Le Meurice' is just around the corner.
