Appartement Villa Montmorency

A winding wooden staircase takes you up to a beautiful, Parisian-chic apartment. The living space is flooded with light, wide windows look out over treetops – a luxury to be surrounded by such greenery in Paris.

Two doubles are calm and well dressed with framed fabrics and photographs from the owners’ visits to Asia and the Middle East on the walls. In the neat, roomy kitchen you’ll find bread and jam, basics for cooking, as well as olives and a good bottle of wine to keep you going.

The streets are lined with restaurants and the 16th arrondissement is blessed with art galleries and gardens – explore the lovely glasshouses at Serres d’Auteuil. The Trocadero and Claude Monet museum are 20 minutes on foot and the metro can whisk you off to more touristy spots; take a stroll down to the Seine for spectacular views toward the Eiffel Tower.
