Located seconds away from the Louvre and with magnificent views over Jardins des Tuileries, this one-bedroom apartment feels fresh and light – its many windows and skylights making it one of the brightest in the collection. An open-plan layout with a sleek minimalist kitchen is paired with contemporary pieces and a gripping centrepiece painting to produce an innovative space with a transgressive edge. An art-loving couple looking for space and style will feel right at home and will make the most of its location next to Paris' most iconic museum.

Local guide
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.
