Situated in what used to be an old costume shop, this apartment has both charm and character – plus, it's steeped in history. The likes of Mistinguette and Josephine Baker wore outfits made in this studio, so there's no doubt that this is a place where French artists have been imagining, creating and fabricating for decades. Though it's small, this apartment is utterly romantic and perfectly embodies the spirit of this bohemian area. Fling open the Atelier windows to bask in the postcard Parisian setting – just pull up a chair and enjoy coffee and croissants whilst looking out onto the pretty courtyard. As charming as the home itself are the hosts, who are more than happy to share their local knowledge with their guests. It's a hip neighbourhood, with chic bistros, trendy cafes and boutique shops all nearby. The Louvre and Jardin des Tuileries are about twenty minutes on foot, while Sacré-Cœur is a twenty-five-minute walk if you're up for a climb. It's the ideal place for a young couple hoping to discover a lively locale with easy access to the metro - Cadet station is just three minutes away.
