Taking inspiration from that all-too-rare of central Paris amenities: an outside space, this home offers heaps of charm and room to unwind. Enjoy your morning croissants out on the private patio area and start the day in the gentle Parisian sunshine surrounded by greenery. It’s located on Île Saint Louis, only a five-minute walk from Notre Dame and just over a kilometre from the Pantheon so you won't have to go far to take in some of the city's most beloved sights. Locally, you'll find the tranquillity of the island to be a breath of fresh air in the heart of the capital – with the lack of clamouring tourists and ongoing public transport, there's a calming village-like ambience around the neighbourhood. Back home, sink into the soft mid-century furnishings with a game of chess around the hand-crafted coffee table. Looking around, you'll notice an assortment of antique pieces in all three bedrooms that makes for an authentic and refined feel. For an air of understated elegance and serenity, without being far from the main tourist attractions, this home is perfectly suited.

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 -...
