Take a look at 5 of the very best vacation rentals in our Paris collection. If these don’t meet your high expectations, then nothing will.
Leopard Manor
Leopard Manor, Plum Guide home in Paris
Click to book Leopard Manor now: from £313 per night A lesson in kitsch done right, this home is packed full of character, you can't help but smile when staying here. We love the model of the Eiffel tower, the collection of character jugs and don't get us started on the leopard print dining chair covers – surprisingly chic! The decor may not be to everyone's taste, but the location is great, just a minutes walk from the Jardin du Luxembourg. The major low point is that ground floor bedroom can get very noisy as it looks directly out onto a busy street. Sleeps up to 4 | 2 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms
The Botanical Perch
The Botanical Perch, Plum Guide home in Paris
Click to book The Botanical Perch now: from £170 per night Located in the middle of the trendy Rive Gauche, this beautiful loft studio feels effortlessly chic and wonderfully Parisian. With its honey-hewed wood floors, tall ceilings, soft blue palette, and gold framed mirror, there’s an air of regal sumptuousness here that feels oh so apt in its Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighbourhood. You’ll instantly be dazzled by the floor-to-ceiling windows offering views of the 17th-century Hospice of Laennec and the top of the Eiffel Tower, which shimmers like glittering diamonds when the sun sets over the city. Take in the views from the plump blue sofa, enjoying your morning coffee while perusing the many Paris guide books and French cookbooks your host has provided before setting off for a day of exploring. You’ve got countless sights and monuments within easy reach on foot, including Rue du Bac (ten minutes away), the Luxembourg Gardens and Les Deux Magots (thirteen minutes), the Musée d'Orsay (twenty minutes) and the Eiffel Tower (thirty minutes). Meanwhile, the city’s historic Le Bon Marché department store is right on your doorstep, as well as countless gourmet food shops and pâtisseries. After a day of sightseeing, come back home for a glass of wine and a meal at home before curling up on the sofa with one of the Paris-themed DVDs provided. Then climb the stairs up to your cosy mezzanine bedroom for a dreamy night’s sleep. Sleeps up to 4 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom
The Wooden Leopard
The Wooden Leopard, Plum Guide home in Paris
Click to book The Wooden Leopard now: from £263 per night The Wooden Leopard is a cosy attic apartment in a great central location, just a stone’s throw from the iconic Eglise de la Madeleine. The abundance of wood creates a cabin-like atmosphere, while features such as original wooden beams inject a hint of classic Paris charm. The heaviness of the wood is offset by contemporary lamps and bookshelves, and we loved the unusual leopard print wooden tiles in the second bedroom. This home is for you if you're looking for a characterful, homely space that, though not luxurious, is well equipped and welcoming. Sleeps up to 4 | 2 Bedrooms | 1 Bathroom
The Passy Gardener
The Passy Gardener, Plum Guide home in Paris
Click to book The Passy Gardener now: from £285 per night Almost like stepping into the French countryside, this ground floor apartment's expansive garden makes you look forward to summer. With an equally spacious indoors, a couple will certainly have plenty of space to spread. While the kitchen and bathroom do feel slightly dated, the sprawling living-dining area is ideal for decadent evenings in. An added bonus - its location next to Trocadéro Gardens and Eiffel Tower make it an ideal base to visit Paris' iconic attractions. Sleeps up to 2 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom
Bien Sûr
Bien Sûr, Plum Guide home in Paris
Click to book Bien Sûr now: from £295 per night A stone’s throw from the glamorous Golden Triangle neighbourhood with its elite shopping, this apartment is a five-minute walk to the Arc de Triomphe and ten minutes to Champs-Élysées. Find yourself surrounded by elegant Haussmannian buildings with iron-wrought balconies, leafy streets and some of the most famous sights in Paris. The metro is a breezy three-minute walk, so whether you want to visit The Louvre or Versailles, you’ll be well connected. Back at home, this stylish home gets plenty of natural light to complement its minimalist furniture and gold accents. We love the black grey kitchen, bright wood dining table and dream-like mural of Paris in the bedroom. And with a find this good, who’s to say you’re not dreaming? Sleeps up to 4 | 1 Bedroom | 2 Bathrooms
