History lovers will adore this apartment’s location – it’s just over a twenty-minute walk to Place des Vosges, the oldest planned square in Paris, while it’s a fifteen-minute walk to Place de la Bastille. It’s the same walking distance to Opéra Bastille if you want to watch a production and Place de la Nation if you fancy some green space. There are plenty of restaurants and cafes on your doorstep too, or head back to this stylish home for dinner and whip up a cassoulet in the stylish kitchen. Then retire to the living space – we love this room with its tall bookshelf, high ceilings and large skylight – the light shining through bounces off the curvy metallic artwork on the feature wall. Later, enjoy a long soak in the freestanding bathtub after a busy day in the City of Light. This place is ideal for a couple, family or friends. Home truths: *Guests three, four and five would be on two sofa beds in the living room – if you're looking for a home with ample space for socialising, we'd recommend this home for two guests only *The dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly space *There are stairs to climb here – something to bear in mind if you have limited mobility *Charles de Gaulle Airport is 21.9 kilometres away
