The ultimate Parisian getaway for two people, this one-bedroom home is a sheer delight. Wonderfully chic, Avenue de Tourville is on the first floor of a classic Parisian apartment building and full of bespoke touches and design motifs that make clever use of retro furniture and contemporary décor. The result is a bright, airy space that is just a short walk from some of Paris’ best museums and galleries.

The 7th Arrondissement has one dominating feature right at its heart – the Eiffel Tower. This iconic landmark is as French as it gets, and no trip to the city is complete without a tour of the tower and a few selfies from the top. In the 7th you’ll also find other notable attractions such as the bohemian Left Bank, and a cluster of some of the city’s finest museums including the Musée d'Orsay, Musée Rodin, and the Musée du Quai Branly – Jacques Chirac.

It may be bijou, but Avenue de Tourville is the perfect retreat for a romantic weekend or a longer city break for two. A flight of stairs lead up to the apartment and once inside you’re immediately struck by the homely atmosphere and elegant touches. The living room and dining room form a single open-plan space with a herringbone wooden floor, floor-to-ceiling windows that lead out onto Juliet balconies, and vintage furniture. This is a space for relaxation with a bottle of wine and good friends. The galley kitchen has high ceilings and is fully fitted with everything you need for your stay, including that essential coffee machine. A bright study leads to the bedroom, which has a king-size bed and city street views and an ensuite bathroom. A separate WC completes the layout.

Whether it’s an impulsive escape to the most romantic city on the planet, or a planned trip to see the sites of this cultural epicentre, a stay at Avenue de Tourville puts you right in the heart of Paris. It recreates that typically Parisian lifestyle, surrounded by culture, elegance, and that certain je ne sais quoi that makes this remarkable city so special.
