Blending twentieth-century interiors with picturesque neo-classical gardens, this bright, eclectic home in Paris’ 17th arrondissement is an ideal base for those looking for a characterful city stay. Housed within a bourgeois-style listed building, there’s an air of grandeur to this home, with bohemian artworks decking the walls, contemporary and antique furnishings as well as large floor-to-ceiling windows dressed in sweeping curtains, bathing the whole space in light. On balmy days, open up the glass doors to let in the refreshing breeze from the courtyard while sipping a glass of wine on one of the living room’s armchairs or luxuriating on the chaise longue with a leather-bound book from the shelves. Alternatively, step out into the courtyard garden for an alfresco meal and a sundowner, under the shaded awning or while basking in the sunshine. The two bedrooms are masterclasses in elegant classicism with gilt-framed oil paintings, narrow bookshelves, bespoke wallpapered walls, as well as a bureau in the second bedroom should you need to catch up on work. When you’re not hanging out in your singularly stylish pad, go out and explore your neighbourhood’s hip bars, trendy eateries and varied street markets, or enjoy a picnic and a stroll through beautiful Parc Monceau, a six-minute walk away. You’re also a twenty-minute walk from the famous Arc de Triomphe and the Champs-Élysées, while the Palais Garnier is thirty minutes away on foot.
