Wood floors, walls decked with art and shelves teeming with books give this chic apartment a very definite Parisian je ne sais quoi. Located in the city’s elegant 7th arrondissement, you’re all set for a culturally rich time here. Kick back on the open-plan living area’s sofa or armchairs while perusing one of the many books with a glass of wine or sit down at the window-facing desk to pen your own oeuvre. Evenings call for fashionable soirées over locally bought cheese and charcuterie at the long dining table, while the calm pared-back bedroom offers a comfortable night’s sleep. When you’re not spending time in your stylish pad, go out and explore your surroundings. You're just across the street from the Esplanade des Invalides and a five-minute walk from Les Invalides itself, a fifteen-minute stroll from the Musée d’Orsay and twenty minutes on foot from the Eiffel Tower.
