This Parisian studio is small, but it sure packs a mighty punch. We loved the eye-catching red patterned sofa that acts as a centrepiece and the bold choice of artwork hanging on the walls. The rustic tiling on the floor and exposed stonework on one wall nod to the city's rich history, but there are contemporary touches in the shape of the transparent plastic stools and the greyscale kitchen that cleverly utilises the available space, making it feel fresh and modern. And of course, we should probably mention the fact that the location is tres, tres bien. It takes less than five minutes to walk over Pont Neuf and you're on Ile de la Cité, on which you can see the Notre-Dame and Sainte-Chapelle. Alternatively, you can simply walk along the banks of the Seine all the way to the Eiffel Tower if you're feeling sprightly — it should take you under an hour, providing you don't stop at a boulangerie on the way.
