Le Graphiste in Paris, Île-de-France

Le Graphiste Self-Catering

Close to Bastille and the vibrant rue de la Roquette, this home is surrounded by trendy bars, theatres and boho boutiques. Curated prints and brass fixtures provide ideal visual candy, and although some may find its overall style rather minimal, we think a couple with a design-forward mindset would do well here. We like to think of space as a home for doers – cook up a delicious breakfast or romantic meal and get out on the streets, day or night, to discover this more alternative side of Paris.

Home truths:
* The small retro sofa is not ideal for long movie nights so those looking to spend lots of time at home relaxing might want to look elsewhere

* It's an old home so a few nicks and cracks are expected – some of the floorboards have seen better days

* There is no air-conditioning in this home
*The bedroom does not have bedside lamps for night-time reading
