Experience Paris like a true Parisian in this authentic French apartment set on the beautiful island of Ile Saint-Louis in the tranquil eastern end of Paris. Filled with a mix of contemporary and antique pieces carefully selected chosen by the owner, this home strikes the right balance between classy but cosy interiors. The vibrant and eclectic furnishings are even further complemented by unique pieces of artwork in true Parisian style. We particularly love the grand table dining area, which hones in on the importance of eating well and eating together when embracing the French culture. Pick up a good bottle of French wine from the local wine cellar, alongside other necessities from the butchers, bakery and fromagerie – all located within five minutes walking distance on the island. Once the restaurants clear out at night, the streets of this little village in the heart of Paris, fall quiet and a late stroll down the main street gives the feeling of having stepped into an Impressionist painting. Cross over the river Seine in either direction and you'll find yourself, once again, in more picture-perfect scenes reflective of Paris' romantic reputation.

About Île Saint Louis
Only a bridge away from busy and touristy Paris, l'Île Saint Louis is a small village at the capital's heart that's remained peacefully frozen in 17th century France. The tranquility of this island hits you as soon you as set foot and the lack of public transport makes it ideal for lovers of walks, long or short. Despite this, your time on the island will be far from uneventful -...
