When your closest main road is the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, it’s not a stretch to say that you might be staying in one of Paris’ most elegant and sought-after homes. Three minutes around the corner from this designer shopping hub, this flat is as beautiful as its surrounding area. First off, the communal area of the building is the epitome of luxury and style. Enjoy the company of other residents alongside a full-size pool table, plush lounge, fire pit, and library, all lit by a huge skylight. And up in your own living space, there’s a modern Scandi vibe with a luxury edge. We love the subtle way that natural elements seep into the home too. Views from the wrought-iron balconies look down to a serene, green courtyard. Your bedroom is a fabulous homage to birds and ornithology – owls and pheasants watch over you from a colourful mural above the bed. With all of these features, it’s easy to forget that you’re right in the heart of a bustling metropolis. If you do need a reminder, stroll to the Arc de Triomphe with ease just six minutes away. And if you want to delve deeper into the city, Georges... V metro station is only four minutes from home.

About Arc de Triomphe - Champs-Élysées
The Champs Elysees is one of the most famous streets in the world, so be prepared to come up against a fair few tourists, though you can sidestep the hordes pretty easily by exploring the side streets just off the main drag. For most, it's a mandatory stop, if only to catch a glimpse of the monumental Arc de Triomphe which crowns the avenue and which was commissioned by Napoléon...
