Riverside Parisian living awaits at this immaculate apartment set on the Seine's island of Saint-Louis in the 4th arrondissement. Measuring just 27 acres, L’île Saint-Louis is more intimate than its larger and busier sister island, Île de la Cité, but no less charming. And you're never far from the city bustle, with Notre Dame, the Louvre, the Marais and Bastille all within walking distance and the Metro just three minutes from your door. Back home, this historic apartment marries period features (would you look at those exposed gabled ceilings and original flagstone floors) alongside some seriously sleek modernist design. That eye-catching electric blue sofa has morning coffees or evening aperitifs written all over it, while the charming corner dining area with statement ambient lighting brings all the bistro vibes. And just wait until you hear the island's baroque Église St-Louis en l’Île begin to chime its church bells (never fear, it's only three times a day) – that's a memory made right there.

About Île Saint Louis
Only a bridge away from busy and touristy Paris, l'Île Saint Louis is a small village at the capital's heart that's remained peacefully frozen in 17th century France. The tranquility of this island hits you as soon you as set foot and the lack of public transport makes it ideal for lovers of walks, long or short. Despite this, your time on the island will be far from uneventful -...
