You’ll find this homely apartment just a two-minute walk from the Place des Vosges in the historic Marais district. The interiors expertly show off your host’s love of antique pieces – the bureau, toile wallpaper, rattan chairs and sofa with printed cheetah depictions especially caught our eye. Begin mornings at the breakfast bar with flaky croissants and milky coffee, before coming together in the living space to plan your itinerary. Check out the small, but significant, art galleries and museums in your neighbourhood. You’re a five-minute walk from the Maison de Victor Hugo and ten from the Museum of the Art and History of Judaism. Shop in flash boutiques along the Rue des Francs-Bourgeois and refuel at the farmer’s market on Boulevard Richard Lenoir, held every Thursday and Sunday. When dusk falls, make a beeline for the craft-cocktail bars to try a carefully concocted beverage in a stylish setting.
