Description Boulevard Charm: Paris

Set just off the Champs-Élysées, this 8th arrondissement apartment is in a perfect location for exploring Paris. Wander the length of that world-famous avenue to see the Arc de Triomphe, window shopping as you go. Or stroll to the scenic Jardin des Tuileries (twenty minutes away), which leads you to the Louvre for an arty afternoon. After a day spent sightseeing, cocktails on the balcony await, complete with views across the rooftops to the Eiffel Tower. The kitchen is also handy – though with so many upscale eateries and cosy bistros to try nearby, you can easily take a break from cooking.

Home truths:
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot for free. You'll need to request it in advance.
*There's underfloor heating in the bathrooms here.
*Parking in Paris can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible. The nearest Metro station (Franklin D. Roosevelt) is a three-minute walk away.
