Set right on the edge of the Champs de Mars and a ten-minute walk from the Eiffel Tower, this bright apartment not only boasts a fabulous location but also provides a wonderfully comfortable stay in the City of Light. With its French doors giving way to Juliet balconies, carefully chosen artwork and decorative fireplace, the living area is a sociable and sophisticated spot to gather, whether for a quiet afternoon on the sofa with a good book or in the evenings – perched by the windows – with a glass of wine. The kitchen, meanwhile, is warm and intimate with its dark wood details and chessboard-reminiscent herringbone cabinetry, inviting breakfasts over fresh coffee and croissants each morning and stylish soirées over locally bought cheese and bubbly. With two simple yet chic bedrooms to boot, as well as a luxurious rainfall shower in the bathroom, you’ve got everything you need to feel right at home. When you’re not hanging out in your Parisian pad, go out and visit the surrounding sights – not least of all the neighbouring Iron Lady. Elsewhere, Les Invalides is a fourteen-minute walk away, the Rodin Museum is walkable in twenty and the Musée d’Orsay is twenty-five minutes... away on foot.
