This stylish apartment in Paris’ 17th arrondissement puts you in a wonderful position from which to explore the city. With interiors inspired by serene grasslands, it’s both a practical and comfortable base whether you’re visiting the city for business or pleasure.

And what better way to end any day of work or play than perched on the small balcony with a glass of rosé?

Local guide
About Monceau - Ternes
This is the residential part of the affluent 8th arrondissement, tucked just behind the Champs Elysée but without the tourists. Your neighbours will mainly be wealthy families but you will also come across quite a few workers going to the office too. It's a safe part of town, well positioned for exploring more vibrant neighbourhoods like Batignolles, Pigalle, or even Grands Boulevards. You'll find lots of high-end shops around Madeleine...

Stroll around the Parc Monceau
The Parc Monceau is a favourite for families who come here to play with children and couples who enjoy a picnic. Sculptures are also on display in this chic park.
Taste Italian at Mamma Primi
We love their Neapolitan pizzas and truffle pasta. Don't be daunted by the queue, it is well worth the short wait.
Eat Korean at Mandoobar
This Korean bar can host only a couple of guests at a time while the chef Kim Kwang-Loc cooks in front of you. Great atmosphere.
Head to the Square des Batignolles
A favourite for locals of the 17th quarter, this square is full of waterfalls, caves and rivers and is perfect for reading on a sunny day.
Get your caffeine fix at Dose
Reputed to be one of the best coffeeshops in the 17th, Dose serves up excellent pastries, freshly squeezed orange juice and, of course, only the best coffee.
Restore you after your visit to the restaurant of the Camondo museum
Having visited the Camondo museum had a break deserved well in the restaurant of the museum. The winter, stay in the warmth and take advantage of the soft music but the summer enjoy the terrace...
