Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
There's a warmth and playfulness to this two bedroom home which is accentuated by the standout artwork presented along the walls - paintings created by the host's mother herself. The interior is brought to life with a mix of bold contemporary colours blended in with more antique touches - the wooden desk is particularly striking. You’ll be staying close to the Luxembourg Gardens - Paris's best-loved park - and are moments away from the galleries and quaint cafés of bohemian Saint Germain-des-Prés.
