Known for its 17th-century covered market, this part of Paris is unique, with its maze of stalls and international eateries. Just steps from the green space of the Square du Temple – Elie Wiesel, this pretty home is part of a building that dates back to 1650. Built over two floors, it's packed with character and we just love the mix of the ancient beams and the modern industrial spiral staircase. Another fascinating feature is the reinforced glass floor section on the landing. Both bedrooms are comfortable and quiet, and the kitchen and bathrooms are sleek and modern. Set on a peaceful, tucked-away street, you're within a stone's throw of the biggest attractions in the Marais district, with a number of Metro stations all within a five-minute walk.
