Parisian Sapphire

Housed in a beautiful old mansion between the Marais and the Canal Saint-Martin, this home – curated by an interior designer – blends old-world charm with sparkling modern furnishings. Original, refurbished parquet floors, French windows and tall ceilings sit alongside snazzy contemporary decor in bright shades of sapphire, creating an instantly elegant impression. Make yourself comfortable on the sofa with a glass of wine and gather together at the long dining table for locally-bought cheese and charcuterie when you’re not out sampling the local cafes and trendy bars in your area.

We love the artwork in the pared-back bedrooms that add touches of creative character amidst their otherwise crisp white settings, while the marble bathroom is sure to get any morning started on a relaxed note with its luxurious rainfall shower.

When you’re ready to see the sights, make a beeline for Canal Saint-Martin’s waterside cafes or indulge in vintage shopping in one of the Marais’ many boutiques. You’re also an easy walk away from the Musée National Picasso-Paris and the chic Place des Vosges.
