Located on Paris' historic Île Saint-Louis, this quaint home is a short four-minute stroll away from the eponymous Notre Dame Cathedral. Take a wander around the immediate neighbourhood, exploring one of two natural islands along the Seine River – we love the enchanting windy streets and authentic brasseries. After a day of exploring and a delicious dinner, come back home to your rustic apartment steeped in charm. Transporting you back to a bygone era, with its exposed wooden beams, antique furniture and playful Parisian feel, the apartment exudes refinement and class. Find a cosy space in the living room to curl up with a good book or a glass of Bordeaux. In contrast, the modern kitchen and breakfast bar, complete with low-hanging lights, dark wooden surfaces and chic stools, makes for the perfect spot to sip a spritz at the end of the evening.

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.
