Built in the late 19th century as a Parisian bolthole for a French aristocratic family, this plush apartment combines old-world opulence with modern sophistication. We loved the expertly restored original features – namely the solid wood floors and wall mouldings – as well as the nods to Rococo interior design, exemplified by the bedframes and glass chandeliers. Arise in elegant bedrooms and breakfast at the jewel-toned dining set before ticking off the must-visits on your itinerary. Culture buffs should make a beeline for the Louvre or Pompidou Centre – you’re a fifteen-minute walk from both. Take a leisurely twenty-five-minute stroll south to the Notre Dame or hop on the metro at Bonne Nouvelle and arrive at the unmistakable Eiffel Tower in just over thirty minutes.
