Located in the heart of Le Marais, this apartment is ideal for couples, small families as well as business travellers. It’s certainly not among the larger homes in our collection and some parts feel a little dated, though it provides all the modern amenities for a comfortable stay. The apartment is located close to Place des Vosges and you’re just a short stroll away from the banks of the Seine. Guests are also spoilt for choice when it comes to eateries, as the neighbourhood has a plethora of restaurants and bars to choose from.
