Bright and cosy, this studio apartment is ideal for solo travellers. We love the bold pop of green and the artsy wallpaper. There's also a compact kitchen, though we think it's best for rustling up lighter bites. A few homely touches are lacking here, but it works well for quick trips and business travellers. Besides, you'll probably spend the majority of your time in Paris out and about. Bastille is home to restaurants aplenty, and the nearby metro makes exploring further afield a breeze.

Home truths

    This apartment is lacking some homely touches. We think it's best for business travellers and quick trips.

    If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a travel cot on request.

    As this is a studio apartment, space is a little tight. In particular, the kitchen is compact.

    Though this building has a lift, you'll still have to take some stairs to get to the apartment.

About Bastille - Bercy

Bastille is probably still best known for the storming of its prison on the afternoon of 14th July 1789 during the French Revolution.
