Nestled in the heart of the 2nd arrondissement, this contemporary apartment has tranquillity running through its core. From the elegant furnishings to the panoramic views across Paris from the private balconies, there’s so much to love here. Budding chefs will feel completely at home in the sleek, curved kitchen – although with a host of French eateries lining the streets below, dining out is sure to be on the menu. If you can tear yourself away from home, locally you’ll find the Palais Garnier and luxury boutiques lining the boulevards – there’s something for everyone here.
