Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
At first glance, you might find yourself wondering whether this is a home or a gallery. And while the art collection is impressive, you’ll also find the owners have created a cosy and comfortable base for an inspiring city stay. From here, you can enjoy views across Tour Saint-Jacques while relaxing on the little balcony. Each room has its own unique character and while it seems like the perfect adults-only escape, it’s also family-friendly with plenty to explore in the surroundings. Outside, stroll to the riverside or walk to the Louvre. You’ll also find Châtelet metro station is just a two-minute walk away.
