Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This home is cosy, chic and ideally located in a charming courtyard close to the Seine, between Île de la Cité and Saint-Germain-des-Prés – that's all bases covered for those after a tranquil home within easy reach of some iconic central attractions and a neighbourhood with a soul. On top of that, the home's interiors are wonderfully Parisian, with a charming country-style kitchen, an inviting nook and an extensive book collection. Open the front door and you'll find a soothing space with an authentic and warming ambience that will soon have you feeling right at home. Sink into the squishy sofa with a good book, tuck yourself away in the bedroom, or knock up a croque madame with ease. The open-plan layout means you can cook for your guests while socialising. Outside, the quaint courtyard entrance really tops this place off. Visit the Louvre, an eight-minute walk away, or stroll down to the Notre Dame in less than fifteen minutes. All in all, this home is a real hidden treasure in the heart of Paris.
