La Manufacture du Temple

Exuding heaps of style and refinement, this classy customer in the trendy Le Marais district falls perfectly into place. Stepping inside to look around the decor, you'll notice colourful velvet furnishings, original lighting and impressive art objects. Bright and roomy, the sociable open-plan living space is bathed in natural light. Sink into the plush sofa while flicking through an art book from the marble-topped coffee table. Rustle up a croque madame in the brass-fitted kitchen to enjoy around the industrial-chic dining table. And with so much to see and do around here, ensure you save time for a little afternoon nap – the moody master bedroom makes for an ideal spot to get some rest. With ethnic ornaments and dramatic lighting, we really loved both rooms. Plus, there's the glamorous black-tiled bathroom that's perfect for getting all dressed up before heading out. You'll find the surrounding area full of life with playful Parisians frequenting an array of hip cocktail bars and luxury boutiques. Plunge into the spirit of Marais by looking around the local art galleries or even walking to Notre Dame Cathedral – it's under twenty minutes away.
