With the Seine just a stone’s throw away and the historic Place de la Bastille a four-minute walk from your door, this elegant apartment puts you in an ideal spot to see the city’s most famous sights. Minimalist yet chic, there’s something incredibly Parisian about the dining room’s bistro-style chairs, the wood floors and large draped windows in the main living space. You’ll relish kicking back on the bright red sofa with a glass of French wine and a box of macarons and gathering around the table for meals made with fresh produce from the weekly Marché Bastille on Boulevard Richard-Lenoir, a six-minute walk away. With their vibrant pops of red and sleek white detailing, the bedrooms are also all set to drift you into a comfortable night’s sleep ahead of another day of sightseeing. Speaking of exploring, you’re just a twenty-minute walk from both Notre Dame and the trendy Marais district, a thirty-minute stroll from Père Lachaise Cemetery and a thirty-five-minute walk from the Louvre.
