Located in the middle of the trendy Rive Gauche, this beautiful loft studio feels effortlessly chic and wonderfully Parisian. With its honey-hewed wood floors, tall ceilings, soft blue palette, and gold framed mirror, there's an air of regal sumptuousness here that feels oh so apt in its Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighbourhood. You'll instantly be dazzled by the floor-to-ceiling windows offering views of the 17th-century Hospice of Laennec and the top of the Eiffel Tower, which shimmers like glittering diamonds when the sun sets over the city. Take in the views from the plump blue sofa, enjoying your morning coffee while perusing the many Paris guide books and French cookbooks your host has provided before setting off for a day of exploring. You've got countless sights and monuments within easy reach on foot, including Rue du Bac (ten minutes away), the Luxembourg Gardens and Les Deux Magots (thirteen minutes), the Musée d'Orsay (twenty minutes) and the Eiffel Tower (thirty minutes). Meanwhile, the city's historic Le Bon Marché department store is right on your doorstep, as well as countless gourmet food shops and pâtisseries. After a day of sightseeing, come back home for a glass of wine and a meal at home before curling... up on the sofa with one of the Paris-themed DVDs provided. Then climb the stairs up to your cosy mezzanine bedroom for a dreamy night's sleep.
