Once a convent, this freshly renovated home in the Eiffel Tower area has a peaceful air.

You enter into a ground-floor hallway, which leads straight to a smart kitchen with a striking interior window. Through the window, you’ll catch sight of the sitting room, which is on the left of the entrance hall. Two dusky sofas sit beside the white-draped windows, and opposite them, there’s a simple wooden dining table for four. But this isn’t a subdued space – well-chosen antiques, a glossy upright piano and shelves full of books give it real character.

The rest of this home’s rooms are down on the lower-ground floor, where you’ll find a hallway a double bedroom, two single bedrooms and the main bathroom.
