Culture lovers will adore this bright apartment located just a six-minute walk from the Louvre in Paris’ elegant 1st arrondissement. Wood floors and chic, contemporary furnishings provide an instantly impressive welcome in the open-plan living area with French windows giving way to pretty wrought-iron Juliet balconies. Sip your morning café au lait here as you people-watch from your privileged position or kick back on the sofa with a good book while enjoying the breeze flowing through. The long dining table is all set up to host special soirées over locally bought wine and cheese, while the two bedrooms are pared-back with a Scandi minimalist touch. Factor in the sleek, dazzlingly white bathroom with its rainfall shower, and you’re all set for a relaxing stay. Aside from the Louvre, you’ve got plenty of cultural must-see within easy walking distance, including the Palais-Royal (four minutes), the Opéra Garnier (fifteen minutes), the Tuileries Garden (thirteen minutes) and the Champs-Élysées (twenty minutes).

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.
