The 2nd arrondissement of Paris is a dream for any visitor – but particularly for theatre lovers. This quirky, cultured neighbourhood has a huge ratio of venues in comparison to its size. From this charming apartment you can walk to the Théâtre des Bouffes-Parisiens in twelve minutes, the Théâtre National de l'Opéra Comique in thirteen, or the Théâtre des Nouveautés in ten. And the home itself has somewhat theatrical aspects to match. This striking apartment sits in a secluded, cobbled courtyard off the bustling Rue de Montmarte. However, you'll find that its character is certainly louder than its setting. As soon as you step inside, the theme of the day is colour – with one in particular dominating the stage. Pour yourself a glass of champagne and open the French windows to bathe the living space in light. Taupe walls are everywhere from the lounge, to the bedroom, and even the bathroom (where a high-tech toilet from Japan is the star of the show). We love the vibrant, colourful art adorning these elegant walls. From European abstracts to traditional Japanese, this eclectic mix works beautifully alongside elegant white furniture – because something had to be minimalist.

About Montorgueil - Les Halles
Montorgueil - Les Halles is a vibrant area in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd districts. It’s frequently overlooked by tourists but it’s definitely a prime location in the heart of Paris. This area feels like a village where true Parisians live, but despite that it’s walking distance to Le Marais, Centre Pompidou and Le Louvre. Parisians particularly like the area for one of its main streets, the rue Montorgueil. Greengrocers,...
