Vetted by our experts
Set in an artistic part of town that used to be popular amongst creative greats such as Picasso and Hemingway, this former artist’s studio is the ideal spot for a family that's looking for a quiet getaway. Inside, original, industrial-style windows fill the home with natural light, which coupled with double-height ceilings makes for an incredibly spacious feeling no matter where you are in the house. Terracotta floor tiles and wooden accents create a homely atmosphere making the apartment ideal for longer stays. We love the bohemian vibe this place offers in perfect contrast with the cobblestone setting upon which it resides – it truly is a little slice of peaceful heaven despite its address in one of the most popular cities in the world.
We promise expert-vetted homes, total transparency and exceptional service.

About Montparnasse & Catacombs
This part of town is mostly residential but works well as a base for exploring the charms of the nearby 6th and the 7th arrondissements. It was famously home to a community of prominent twentieth-century artists and intellectuals - Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, Max Ernst and Pablo Picasso to name a few. Parc Montsouris is one of the city's most colourful public spaces and well worth seeking out. Be sure to check out the Roman Catacombs too if you're of the morbid disposition - stacks of skulls and bones await you!
