A Portrait of Elegance in Paris, Île-de-France

A Portrait of Elegance Self-Catering

Dressed in brown and gold with splashes of colour bursting into the bedrooms, this Parisian apartment oozes elegance and sophistication. With its ornate coving, wainscoting, and dramatic light fixtures, you could say it's a work of art – fitting, with pictures adorning the walls giving a distinct nod of appreciation to Messieurs Da Vinci and Van Gogh. After an evening out in the French capital, on returning home and climbing under the crisp white sheets in your charming bedroom, you’ll find sleep comes easily.

Set in the heart of the city, you’ll never be short of things to do. One thing that’s sure to be on your holiday to-do list is a visit to the Louvre. The good news? It’s just a fifteen-minute walk from the apartment and if you head along Rue de Richelieu, you’ll pass through the delightful gardens of the Palais Royal on the way. This is picture-perfect Paris, at its very best.
