An eclectic home in the heart of South Pigalle, with a mix of modern and vintage furniture and rustic beams to boot. Although there's quite a climb to get there without any lift, the views out of the six-storey windows, especially the glimpse of the Sacre Coeur are well worth the effort. Our favourite room is the living room, bright and trendy oozing style and character, a lovely spot to hang out after a day's exploration.

Home truths
There is no lift and there are 107 steps to climb, which is not very convenient for a family with large suitcases.

The space has changed since the pictures were taken.

About South Pigalle
South Pigalle, previously a rather seedy corner of Paris (home to the Moulin Rouge), has picked up a new nickname, 'SoPi', and gone all trendy. Most tourists alighting at the Pigalle metro station tend to walk up towards Montmartre and the Sacré-Coeur, but hipster Parisians – the self-styled BoBo (bourgeois bohemians) – head in the opposite direction, to South Pigalle.
