There are a number of good local restaurants and cafés offering take out options for nights when no one feels like cooking.
Why Kids Love it
The perfect respite from the city, this apartment is close enough to most of the main attractions to nip back in between sightseeing for naps and general downtime. The kids' bedrooms are filled with toys and books as well as fun bunk style beds with desk space underneath. The roomy living room has 2 comfy sofas, a hammock, a large TV and a games console for ultimate chill out time. There are plenty of family-friendly attractions nearby including parks, the Musée du Chocolat and the Grévin Museum with its lifelike wax figures of well-known figures. The Seine is also a short stroll, with boat trips offering a fun alternative way to see the city’s sights.

Style Notes
City pad. A quirky, characterful apartment that combines vintage finds and historic features with contemporary design. Period detailing is proudly on display with exposed heritage wood beams in the ceilings and the 'open wall' that separates the kitchen and living areas. Old stone also features, uplifted by smooth white plaster, contemporary parquet and colorful designer furniture. Vintage treasures and works of art add to the story like quality, while the bathrooms and kitchens inject some modern luxury into the mix. We love the kids’ bunk rooms with space to play, and playful touches such as the hammock in the living room bringing the vacation vibes.
