Who needs museums when you can stay in a building listed as a historic monument? Built in 1639 by Cardinal Richelieu, the Prime Minister under Louis XIII of France, this luxurious residence exudes Parisian charm and opulence. And with views of the Louvre Museum and the Palais Royal outside your window, you'll be pleased to know that you can, in fact, have it all as you'll be living in a historical monument, right next door to one of the world's most renowned museums. If that's not more than you bargained for, then get a load of the stunning interiors adorning every last square inch of the apartment. From the glass-roofed lounge inviting in exceptional views and tons of natural light to the marble dining room table that accommodates up to twelve guests – quality is of the essence at this home. We particularly love the free-standing bubble baths featured in some of the bedrooms – you'll feel like royalty as you soak the day away with a glass of French wine in hand.

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.
