Paris' Left Bank is one of the most desirable neighbourhoods in the city, and Rue de Saint-Simon perfectly captures the elegance, spirit, and uniqueness of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. This cosy two-bedroom Paris vacation apartment comfortably sleeps up to four guests and is a contemporary home decorated to the highest standards. Look carefully, though, and you will still notice classic touches of the apartment’s past, with vintage features mindfully incorporated into the design.

Nestled in the heart of the 6th Arrondissement, Saint-Germain-des-Prés is the epicentre of Paris’ erudite elite and is filled with charming cafés, restaurants, and boutiques. You're surrounded by stunning architecture, including the 11th-century Saint-Germain-des-Prés Church. For literary lovers, a coffee at Les Deux Magots is a must, where you'll follow in the footsteps of former patrons like Hemingway, Sartre, and Picasso. Rue de Saint-Simon is close to multiple public transport options, including the Metro and several bus stops, making it easy to explore the rest of the city.

Open the door of this second-floor apartment, and you will immediately be greeted with a sophisticated, graceful home. Two sitting rooms allow guests to find their own comfortable niche, surrounded by a thoughtfully curated mix of modern and vintage furnishings that give the apartment real character. The second sitting room has an extensive library and wonderfully indulgent retro chairs ideal for curling up and reviving your love of French literature on a lazy afternoon. The dining room is part of the open-plan kitchen area, using rustic tones and chic furniture to create an intimate space.

The apartment's two bedrooms are quiet spaces where you can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and relax. The primary suite has a king-size bed and a workspace to catch up with your emails. An attractive ensuite in a striking dark charcoal grey palette includes a fitted soak tub and basin. The second guestroom also has a queen-size bed and easy access to the apartment's extra bathroom.
