Nestled on a street that whispers stories of 19th-century Paris, Apartment Turenne is set in the heart of Marais, one of the city's most iconic neighbourhoods. This two-bedroom apartment, just moments from quaint cobbled lanes and charming boutiques, lets you experience the Paris of a bygone era. Step outside, and grand Parisian facades, nearby cafés, and the hidden gardens of the Marais district welcome you. A short stroll brings you to the beautiful Place des Vosges, Paris' oldest planned square, a picture-perfect spot for a morning coffee or a leisurely afternoon walk.

Entering through a polished hallway accented with hints of greenery, you're immediately drawn into the apartment's inviting living room. With its high, corniced ceilings and stunning parquet floors, this space is quintessentially Parisian, exuding elegance without overstatement. Sunlight streams through a set of tall French doors, illuminating the room and drawing you towards two comfortable leather sofas inviting you to relax. A classic, ornamental fireplace and a vintage bookshelf lend character, making this the ideal setting for an evening of reading or unwinding after a day exploring the city.

The dining area, spacious and classically French, is set against the backdrop of large windows that offer a charming view of the Marais neighbourhood. Here, a traditional bench seat and a giant Persian rug create an ambience that's both welcoming and a touch romantic, perfect for long, lazy meals.

The kitchen retains a delightful rustic charm, embodying a farmhouse feel with vintage furnishings and a cosy breakfast table for four. Fully equipped with everything you need, it's easy to picture leisurely breakfasts here before setting off for a day of Parisian adventures.

The bedrooms are restful spaces designed with understated elegance. The principal bedroom, with its chandelier, decorative fireplace, and a double bed, evokes a sense of timeless grandeur, with bookshelves ready to indulge a quiet evening in. The second bedroom is painted in calming neutral tones, featuring two single beds and ample storage. For additional guests, a snug nook with a double bed offers further sleeping space in a way that feels both cosy and private.

In the bathrooms, gentle hues—mint green in the main bathroom and soothing sky blue in the second—add a refreshing touch. A walk-in shower, bath, and handheld shower provide options for relaxation, complemented by a separate WC for added convenience.

From its charming interiors to its unbeatable location, Apartment Turenne is a delightful retreat, a place where history and modern comfort come together to offer a truly memorable Parisian stay.

Getting to and around

Fall in love with la ville lumière during your time in Paris, one of the most famous capital cities in the world.

Everyone has different reasons for visiting this beautiful city. Perhaps you hope to visit some of Paris’ fine museums and art galleries, climb the Eiffel Tower or shop to your hearts content along the iconic boulevards. You may prefer to simply wander around the city parks, enjoy leisurely lunches on the left bank before strolling across Pont Neuf to admire the grandeur of the Louvre.

Discover the many charming neighbourhoods of Paris following the footsteps of famous writers, artists and philosophers. Start off on the right bank in Le Marais, the Jewish quarter, with its boutiques, old bakeries and kiosks selling delicious falafel (expect a queue!) – take a guided walking tour to learn all about this neighbourhood’s heritage. On the other side of the river, soak up the student ambience of the Latin Quarter, home to La Sorbonne, and sip coffee on a café terrace on Boulevard Saint-Germain for a truly iconic Parisian experience.

Meanwhile, a walk around Jardin du Luxembourg is a must, especially for families who will adore the little boats by the fountain, donkey rides, carrousel and a popular new playground (with an entry fee). Pack a picnic and sit on a bench beneath the shady trees as you people watch Parisians and tourists alike making the most of this atmospheric park.

Keen shoppers will appreciate the likes of Galeries Lafayette as well as the luxury stores of the Champs-Elysées. If you are visiting Le Centre Pompidou, you could also walk up to the vast Forum des Halles for recognisable brands in central Paris. Not forgetting the many markets from the twice-weekly Bastille Market selling delicious food to the sprawling weekend flea market at Marché aux Puces de St-Ouen that dates back to the late 19th century.

Embrace the romantic ambience of Paris when you walk by the river on La Rive Droite with beautiful views as you pass Île Saint-Louis and Île de la Cité. It’s especially lovely as evening nears with vibrant bars by the riverside whilst children will love the play areas and climbing walls as you stroll. Look out for the Eiffel Tower in the far distance which sparkles so magically on the hour from dusk.
