Situated in the hip 11th Arrondissement, this home, located in a former convent, has a great setting. With its array of bars, artisan coffee shops, restaurants and boutiques, Le Marais is nearby, as is Place de la Bastille (around a ten-minute ride). Back at this home, relax with a glass of Champagne on the private terrace with its pretty oleander shrubs. Then, head back through the French doors and whip up some ratatouille with goat's cheese in the modern kitchen if you don't fancy eating out. This home also comes with secure, underground parking, which is a real plus in this city location. We think this apartment is perfect for a couple or solo traveller looking for a fashionable address.
