This opulent 18th-century apartment is right at home in the history-rich district of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Look beyond the heirloom antiques and gilded mouldings, and you'll see it makes for a practical stay, too. The kitchen is palatial by inner-city Parisian standards, with a breakfast table nook if the dining room feels too grand for morning coffees and croissants. Both bedrooms have en-suites, and there's a desk to keep on top of emails. This is one of the most coveted addresses in Paris, and for a good reason. You'll be close to the bohemian delights of Saint-Germain-des-Prés and equidistant from the Jardins du Luxembourg and Jardins des Tuileries – perfect for morning strolls and summer picnics.
