In the eaves of a characterful Haussmann building, this apartment makes a cosy base for couples. Upon entering, you're greeted by original wooden beams, A-frame ceilings, and elegant details. The kitchen has all you need to rustle up dinner – though plenty of gourmet eateries are nearby – while the living area is awash with natural light. Best of all is the location. Situated on the Île de la Cité, you'll be just a short walk from Notre Dame Cathedral, the Seine, and a metro station. All in all, we can't think of a better spot for two.

About Île de la Cité
Ile de la Cité is one of the two natural islands known as the official epicentre of Paris, where the medieval city was founded. With only 1,000 inhabitants, it's definitely exclusive!
