Above the Elysee

Sitting directly opposite the Élysée Palace in Paris's 8th arrondissement, this apartment occupies one of the city's most recognisable addresses. The rooftop terrace is where the stay really earns its place – furnished and open to the sky, with views stretching across to the Eiffel Tower, Grand Palais, and Saint-Augustin Church. When you're ready to explore, the Louvre is an eighteen-minute walk, and the Musée d'Orsay a twenty-one-minute stroll. There's also a laptop-friendly workspace for anyone mixing business with the pleasure of being this well-located in Paris.

Home truths:
*This home is only available to those studying or travelling for work – you’ll need to provide proof from your university or employer.
*As a triplex, you'll be moving between three floors during your stay – ideal for those who don't mind stairs, but worth bearing in mind if anyone in your group has mobility considerations, even with lift access to the building.
*This home is currently listed for sale, so there’s a rare chance your host might need to carry out viewings during your stay – advance notice would be given.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair at no additional cost. You'll need to request them in advance.
*Well-behaved pets are welcome to accompany you upon request.
*You'll find both free street parking and paid parking on the premises – useful to know if you're arriving by car, though the Élysée Palace location means this is a well-connected part of Paris for public transport too.
