Right next to the buzzing bars and street cafés of the Latin Quarter, this apartment exudes intellectual charm. It’s a three-minute stroll to the Latin Quarter, and just fifteen minutes on foot to the beguiling building of the Notre Dame cathedral. What’s more, the Odeon metro stop is two minutes away, ready to whisk you to every corner of Paris with ease. This apartment is a bibliophile's dream, from the collection of classics in the wall-press to the striking bookshelf wallpaper adorning the entire kitchen. It feels a little like a cave of wonders in here. Parquet flooring throughout and rich oil paintings in the bedrooms add to the sense of intellectual refinement.
