Imagine the ultimate Parisian apartment, filled with light, elegance, and the smell of freshly baked croissants and coffee floating up from the street below. Now put yourself right in the centre of the charming 7th Arrondissement and you have this two-bedroom home. With room for up to four guests, Avenue de Villars offers you the chance to live the French dream, just a few minutes’ walk from some of Paris’ most famous landmarks.

Stay in the 7th Arrondissement and you’re surrounded by some of the world’s greatest monuments. The Eiffel Tower is just a short walk away, and the exquisite Musée Rodin is a next-door neighbour. If you’ve never seen the Mona Lisa, take a short walk from your apartment and you’re at the Louvre, home to that enigmatic smile and so much more world-class art. And for an afternoon stroll, what can be better than the gorgeous Jardin du Luxembourg? Finish the day in a little bistro and you have the perfect Parisian day out. Then do it all over again tomorrow.

Accessible by stairs or lift, this gorgeous home opens out into a richly decorated fusion of classical motifs and modern convenience. The blue and white theme works beautifully with the herringbone wooden floors, creating an opulent interior for the living room and dining area. The kitchen is small but with all the appliances you’ll need. The main bedroom softens the décor tones to a tranquil grey and features a king-size bed and Juliet balcony. The second bedroom has a double bed and cot for the youngest guest, complete with a little stash of toys. The bathroom has a more contemporary feel, with a large walk-in shower, washbasin and WC.

Just two minutes from the Saint-François-Xavier metro station, Avenue de Villars is made for those languid Parisian getaways with a partner. The extra bedroom also makes it ideal for families who want to experience the French lifestyle for themselves. A delicate combination of traditional with an on-trend twist, this first-floor apartment is just right for that lazy weekend break in the most romantic city in the world.
