If you’re staying in the Marais, one of Paris’ trendiest districts, then you need an apartment to match. Fortunately, this place is just the ticket. The place gets direct sunlight for most of the day and the wraparound balcony has just enough space for alfresco dining. As this home is located in one of the most popular parts of the city, noise is to be expected – we recommend packing earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. The Pompidou Centre is right on your doorstep and the Arts et Métiers and Réaumur–Sébastopol are your closest metro stations.
