Close to Bastille and the vibrant rue de la Roquette, this home is surrounded by trendy bars, theatres and boho boutiques. Curated prints and brass fixtures provide ideal visual candy, and although some may find its overall style rather minimal, we think a couple with a design-forward mindset would do well here. We like to think of space as a home for doers – cook up a delicious breakfast or romantic meal and get out on the streets, day or night, to discover this more alternative side of Paris.
