Marais Auburn

A glass-roofed central living area floods this Marais apartment with natural light. It's a great option for two couples or a small family – and, after a day covering the 3rd arrondissement's galleries and market streets, the Jacuzzi bathtub is just what's needed. Marché des Enfants Rouges – the city's oldest covered market – is a ten-minute walk away, and Métro Rambuteau a five-minute walk, putting the rest of Paris well within reach.

Home truths:
* Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
* Parking here can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible. Metro stations are within walking distance.
* There aren’t traditional windows in this apartment – instead, there's a glass roof skylight in the living area and the bedrooms have internal-facing windows overlooking the hallway and living space. It’s worth keeping in mind if daylight is a priority, though with so much of the neighbourhood to explore, we imagine you’ll be spending most of your time out and about.
* As is common in France, the toilet is separate from the bathroom.
