Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
If you’re hoping to explore Paris on foot, you couldn’t be better located. This home will have you staying comfortably in the heart of Paris’ main attractions – six minutes from The Louvre, 1 minute from the Jardin des Tuileries, twelve minutes from Musée d’Orsay and sixteen minutes from the Palais Garnier Opera house. Of course, there’s also the magnificent Joan of Arc statue that you can see right from your windows. Inside, you’ll find comfortable and polished interiors, typically French high ceilings and marble bathrooms. With plenty of natural light, the living room is a wonderful spot to kick your feet up after you’ve been on them all day. Each of the bright bedrooms has its own luxurious bathroom, making this stay wonderful for a family or group of friends. You could certainly spend all day here, but with so much to see in every direction, we doubt that you will.

Home truths
The lift is on the smaller side – when arriving with luggage you may have to take turns
Some of the noise from the busy street below carries into the apartment – this can be loud in the summer months
There is no air conditioning in this home
This home is wonderfully located for exploring Paris' main attractions and gorgeous architecture, but it doesn't have a local neighbourhood feel
Your host provides an initial supply of toiletries, but you might want to bring your own to top this up
You won't find a welcome hamper or basic essentials here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started

Local guide
About Louvre - Palais Royal
Where to begin with one of Paris's most majestic and central districts? This was the stomping ground of historic kings, and now its grand palaces and squares are home to museums, galleries, government offices, and luxury shopping. With no fewer than three Royal palaces, the attractions are plentiful in this neck of the woods. If checking out the Mona Lisa with throngs of tourists isn't your thing, we recommend exploring some of the area's quieter hidden gems. Colonnes de Burennes has a gorgeous secret square and Alain Ducasse's world-famous French restaurant 'Le Meurice' is just around the corner.
