Description The Slight Escape: Paris

An eclectic home in the heart of South Pigalle, with a mix of modern and vintage furniture and rustic beams to boot. Although there's quite a climb to get there without any lift, the views out of the six-storey windows, especially the glimpse of the Sacre Coeur are well worth the effort. Our favourite room is the living room, bright and trendy oozing style and character, a lovely spot to hang out after a day's exploration.

Home truths:
* There is no lift and there are 107 steps to climb, which is not very convenient for a family with large suitcases.

* The second bedroom has a double bed on a mezzanine level and the ceiling is very low. There is also no space in the mezzanine for a bedside table as the whole area encompasses a double mattress.

*The space has changed since the pictures were taken.
