Description Portes Ouvertes: Paris

Planning a romantic Parisian getaway or solo visit to the City of Light? Look no further than this sleek apartment just ten minutes from the Champs Elysées. Complete with a private courtyard, contemporary living space and design-led furnishings, the city-centre home offers a memorable retreat tucked away from the hustle and bustle.

Wake up each morning, warm some pastries in the oven and enjoy them alongside coffee at the outdoor dining table. The walled terrace is incredibly secluded, a rare treat in a capital city. Inside, a sophisticated colour scheme of burgundy and charcoal gives the apartment a premium feel, especially when combined with the marble accents and plush seating throughout.

When you're ready to explore, many of Paris' must-see sights – from Place de la Concorde to the Louvre – are within walking distance, and you can reach the banks of the Seine in just fifteen minutes. Sounds like a pretty nice set-up to us.

Home truths:
*Though there's enough bed space for four people here, we'd recommend a maximum of two guests
*This home is in a central spot, so some noise is to be expected
*There's no air conditioning here, however, your host will provide a fan
*This apartment is on the first floor with no lift, so it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
