Fendi

This compact but neatly presented apartment in central Marais is ideal for a solo traveller looking for a calm base in one of Paris’ most vibrant quarters. Inside, it’s neutral, cosy and modern with thoughtful touches like a collection of paperbacks and a super comfortable bed that’s a pleasure to fall into at the end of a busy day. The kitchenette is best suited for quick meals but if you’re after something a little more substantial, the streets that surround your home are overflowing with impressive restaurants. Nip over to Rue de Rivoli, a ten-minute walk away, for fresh falafel or find a street-side bistro for traditional French fare. Brush up on your art history knowledge at the Pompidou Centre, a mere three-minute walk from your home, then catch the metro to the George V stop and shop along the iconic Champs-Élysées.
