AM UFER DER SEINE – EIN AUTENTISCHES STADTHAUS AUS DEM 17. JAHRHUNDERT IM LE MARAIS, VILLAGE ST PAUL

Something between a cottage, apartment, and palace, this home really knows how to impress. We were immediately struck by the rustic timber beams, to match glossy wooden floors and a charmingly creaky spiral staircase. Shelves upon shelves of the host’s books line the walls, while vintage motorbikes sit alongside. And to add glamour to this eclectic mix, a glistening chandelier sparkles above. As you head to the second floor, the country-like feel of this village comes to life through distressed furniture, more huge beams, and cosy bedrooms in the eaves. Bohemian Paris at its finest.
The journey begins just a short stroll away from Saint-Paul metro station, a mere six minutes to be exact.

The apartment, a harmonious blend of cottage charm, apartment practicality, and palace grandeur, captivates with its unique and impressive design. The rustic timber beams complement the glossy wooden floors, and a creaky spiral staircase adds a touch of whimsy. The walls are adorned with shelves housing the host's personal library, creating an intellectual backdrop to the living space. Vintage motorbikes share the stage, enhancing the eclectic atmosphere. Above it all, a glistening chandelier adds a touch of glamour, casting a sparkling glow over the surroundings.

Venturing to the second floor, the ambiance takes on a country-like charm, with distressed furniture, substantial beams, and snug bedrooms nestled in the eaves.
