This large and stunning house in central Paris is located on the Left Bank. As soon as you approach its pretty, flowered filled yard – you know you're in for a real treat. The icing on the cake is the gorgeous rooftop terrace – we can imagine wonderful evenings sitting with a glass of champagne here. With an unusual layout, the space and privacy of each bedroom make this an excellent place for a large family or group of friends. Heaps of natural light floods in through the large windows – we particularly love the enormous arched window on the top floor. Location-wise, you're only a ten-minute saunter from Luxembourg Gardens for those summer picnics and evening strolls. For art lovers, the Louvre and Musée d'Orsay are around a thirty-minute walk, while architecture fans can check out the Panthéon, a twenty-minute wander. This lovely home is the perfect base for your Parisian adventures.

Local guide


About Montparnasse & Catacombs

This part of town is mostly residential but works well as a base for exploring the charms of the nearby 6th and the 7th arrondissements. It was famously home to a community of prominent twentieth-century artists and intellectuals - Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, Max Ernst and Pablo Picasso to name a few. Parc Montsouris is one of the city's most colourful public spaces and well worth seeking out. Be sure to check out the Roman Catacombs too if you're of the morbid disposition - stacks of skulls and bones await you!
