Set in a beautiful period building on the city's fashionable Left Bank, close to where the 'Lost Generation' of writers, artists and philosophers hung out a century ago, this pretty home is the archetypal Parisian apartment. Bright, ornate and bursting with character, it's recently been restored to show off its original glamour. Here we're talking high ceilings, a herringbone floor, a 1920s fireplace and tall French windows with those picture-perfect little wrought-iron balconies you see all over the city. Perfect for opening the home right up to the sights and smells of the historic streets below. Cleverly reconfigured to make the most of the available space, this home is ideal for a family or a few friends sharing, with two spacious bedrooms and two stylish bathrooms. There's a pretty living room with comfy sofas, a wood-panelled hall, where you'll find your dining table, and a sleek modern kitchen fitted with everything you're likely to need. One of the most central and sought-after neighbourhoods in Paris, you'll be right in the heart of things. Stroll in the nearby Luxembourg Gardens, once a favourite spot of writer Ernest Hemingway, or head to the buzzing Boulevard Saint Germain. You'll be around twenty minutes from... the Eiffel Tower by Metro and a fifteen-minute walk from the Louvre.
