The Rue Alesia Residence
Perks for the Parents
This sophisticated townhouse in the 14th arrondissement has a big kitchen, lovely courtyard garden and unique features throughout. It sleeps up to 8. The very private and quiet garden studio is a lovely office space for those who need to work while away, or a peaceful spot to begin or end your day with some tranquil reading over a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. The large master bedroom with its painted ceiling, large bed and cascading staircase is unusual and truly romantic.
