With its bright colours, vibrant patterns and an air of joie de vivre, this bold apartment fits right into its trendy Canal Saint Martin neighbourhood. Expect abstract artwork, playfully spun bathrooms in purples and golds, faux effect wallpaper in the bedrooms and a striking blend of patterns and textures. Soft rugs in the living room and sleeping quarters add cosiness and warmth, making you feel right at home. The open-plan kitchen-dining space is geared up for entertaining, allowing you to keep up with conversation—and have your glass of Bordeaux regularly refilled—as you sauté the onions. Casual cafes, backstreet cocktail bars, hip boutiques and foodie haunts cluster around the canal—just a fifteen-minute walk from your pad. Film buffs will recognise the iron footbridges that cross the 19th-century waterway, while music fans will delight in the impromptu acoustic performances in the summer. If you fancy taking a day trip out of the city, the Gare du Nord train station is just over the road, connecting you to wider France and beyond.
