For those looking for a truly bohemian stay in Paris, this cosy cocoon between the Marais and Oberkampf fits the bill perfectly. Located on the top floor, a peek out of the large roof windows rewards you with the most charming views over the city’s rooftops, and plenty of natural light creating a dazzling effect against the chic, eclectic decor. Whether you’re laying back on the daybed with a book from the shelf, letting inspiration take hold at the desk or falling asleep to the twinkle of Paris’ night’s sky, you’ll feel perfectly at ease in this peaceful pad. Outside of your home, the Marais’ vibrant streets lined with bistros, bars and boutiques are an eight-minute walk away, Canal Saint-Martin’s waterside cafés are fifteen minutes away on foot and the Musée National Picasso-Paris is a mere three minutes on foot from your door.
