Tastefully decorated in a classical style, this exquisite two-bedroom apartment in Paris welcomes up to six guests, putting them within easy reach of Le Bon Marché and benefiting from parkside views. A true family home, Rue de la Planche is exactly what you imagine the perfect Parisian apartment to look like, with many original features tastefully embellished with traditional French décor.

Rue de la Planche is just a stone's throw away from some of the capital's major attractions. However, this is a surprisingly quiet neighbourhood with a real family feel. Scratch beneath the surface, and you'll discover a medieval core and the artistic centre of the city where artists and writers would sit in cafés until inspiration struck. The sprawling 7th Arrondissement is home to such iconic Parisian sites as the Eiffel Tower and the Museé d'Orsay. With restaurants galore and plenty of high-end boutiques to explore, it's an eclectic part of the city with plenty of personality.

From the moment you step into Rue de la Planche, you're struck by its sophistication and grace. The interior is meticulously designed to make the most of the classical features, from the ornate cornicing on the ceilings to the rich herringbone wooden floors. The sitting room is bright and airy, with large windows that let the light flood in and provide soothing garden views. Double doors lead onto the formal dining room, complete with a large mirror and carved sideboard. The kitchen, by contrast, is contemporary, with a relaxed breakfast table and a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden.

There are two tranquil bedrooms – a primary suite with a cosy queen-size bed and ensuite and a guest room with a double bed, which can be converted into two singles if required. The double sofa bed provides additional sleeping arrangements.

The view of the garden brings a little natural beauty into the environment, and you're only a short distance from the stunning Jardin du Luxembourg for an afternoon stroll. The apartment building has a private entrance and concierge and is a beautiful Paris vacation apartment for a relaxed family break.
