Packed with history and culture, this home is a Paris destination all on its own. Fascinatingly, this building was once the barracks of the famous musketeers of the King. The 17th-century wooden beams take you right back there, you can just imagine D'Artagnans and the musketeers coming up with plans besides the candlelight. The home retains that cosiness, with packed bookshelves, homely artwork, plush sofas, and classic wooden furniture. Architecture enthusiasts will love this glass-walled kitchen, a welcomed modern contrast to the rest of the home, beautifully separating the living space from the cooking space. And although there is so much to love about this apartment, the terrace is perhaps its shining gem. It's an inviting suntrap, surrounded by foliage and plants. The perfect place to enjoy a sundowner after a day of exploring, looking out at the Le Bon Marché and classic Parisian-style rooftops. Straddling between the 6th and 7th arrondissement, you're steps away from some of Paris' most loved sights, including the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame, both under a thirty-minute walk. You're also an eighteen-minute stroll away from the romantic bank of the Seine, where you can enjoy leisurely afternoons, popping into cafes and taking in the... view. And some of the city's hotspots are right on your doorstep – the chic Saint-Germain-des-Pres, home to Paris' oldest church as well as a buzzing nightlife scene, is just a six-minute amble from home. Surrounded by culture, beauty, and nightlife, this apartment is everything you could want from your time in Paris. And really, nothing beats watching the city sparkle from the comfort of your own terrace.
