Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This practical Parisian apartment is located just steps away from the beautiful Jardin du Palais Royal. It’s also close to the Louvre, the Tuileries Gardens and the elegant Place Vendôme, making it a prime base for those looking to maximise their sightseeing. While the pad is petite, its beamed ceilings and French windows give it a good dose of charm. And although the kitchenette is compact (best suited to light bites), you’ll find plenty of restaurants and bars nearby to give you a true taste of the capital.

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.
