Upstairs Where Art Lives

Located in the heart of the historical Montparnasse, this charming artist’s studio makes for an ideal base for a couple’s romantic getaway in the City of Light, with plenty of iconic sights within walking distance. While you’ll have to climb up quite a few stairs to get here, once you step through the front door you’ll see it was well worth it. This lovely pad will welcome you with a light-filled open-plan living room, with tons of character and unique details lovingly curated by the host. Lounge about on the comfy sofa and admire the high ceilings and skylights above you or curl up in the vintage armchair with one of the books you’ll find on the bookshelves. The kitchen area is quite compact and more suitable for rustling up light snacks rather than grand feasts, but with all the lovely restaurants in the area, this will hardly be a problem. For a night of sweet dreams head upstairs to the cosy bedroom located in the mezzanine – wake up under the Parisian sky, ready for a new day of magical exploring. Outside your front door you’ll find yourself surrounded by history, with the stunning Jardin du Luxembourg just moments...

Local guide


About Montparnasse & Catacombs

This part of town is mostly residential but works well as a base for exploring the charms of the nearby 6th and the 7th arrondissements. It was famously home to a community of prominent twentieth-century artists and intellectuals - Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, Max Ernst and Pablo Picasso to name a few. Parc Montsouris is one of the city's most colourful public spaces and well worth seeking out. Be sure to check out the Roman Catacombs too if you're of the morbid disposition - stacks of skulls and bones await you!
