The Seine and Notre Dame Cathedral are your neighbours in this charming apartment. Set on the sought-after île-de-la-Cité, you'll be well-placed to explore on foot. Restaurants and cafes abound in the nearby Latin Quarter. Or, if seeing the sights is more your speed, you can stroll along the river towards the Louvre and Eiffel Tower. Back home, the climb to the fourth floor won't suit everyone, but we think the views overlooking the streets are worth it. The kitchen is a tad small and there isn't a dining space, but overall, it's a cosy and comfortable base for two.

Home truths

    This home is set on the fourth floor of a building without a lift. We suggest packing light, as there are a lot of stars to climb here.

    The kitchen is compact and has no dining area. We think it’s better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals. You’ll find plenty of eateries within walking distance.

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

    As is common in France, the toilet is separate from the main bathroom. It's not photographed, but we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.

    Parking isn't provided, but you won't need a car in this location. A metro station is a short walk away, and you can easily explore on foot.

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! The streets are picture perfect, with paved streets and curving walls aplenty. With these film-star looks, you’ll inevitably see a fair amount of tourists during the daytime, though you'll also see plenty of Parisians too: simply crossing the Seine,...
