If you’re after historic charm, this recently converted home offers the rare opportunity to stay in one of Paris’ oldest townhouses dating back to the early 15th century. Sprawling over 6 floors, this Marais pad is definitely one for a sprightly group of friends rather than those who have mobility issues. An added bonus, each room has been designed as an individual suite with its own kitchen, living room and bathroom. Although this may not suit those looking for large open communal spaces, it has the added bonus of giving each couple their own privacy.

Home truths

    This townhouse is built over multiple floors which means lots of internal stairs - not ideal for those with mobility issues

    The fireplaces in this home are purely deocrative

    As each room has been designed as an independent suite, there are lots of little communal spaces instead of one large room

    There is no air-conditioning in this home

    The kitchens are on the small side and somewhat basic which may not suit the aspiring chefs among us

This home is managed by Michael

This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Originally from New York, Michael is a Parisian convert having lived in the city of love for over 20 years. As an architect, he fell in love with the history of its buildings and when renovating what used to be his old home he aimed to respect its history as much as possible. He now lives just down the road (and across the river) in the charming Île Saint-Louis, so rest assured that he's around if you need any tips or recommendations.
