Peaches of Paris, by Veeve

Sometimes you have to do things properly - and the way we see it, if you’re going to be visiting Paris, you simply have to live like a Parisian. Well, there’s no better place than this wonderfully spacious apartment, whose serene style encapsulates a mastery of the traditional aesthetic. Although you’re still plenty close to the main action of the city, this is a splendorous example of that particular kind of quietude so unique to Haussmann-style homes. Listen close enough, and you might even hear strings.

LIVING ROOM
All the classics of Parisian decor are on display here in effortlessly composed largesse. Light pours in through floor-to-ceiling French windows, pooling on the herringbone parquet floor and bathing the room with a balm of peach white tranquillity. Touches of antique lend a little seasoning to the timeless sophistication of the marble fireplace, ornately carved mouldings and glittering gilt-mirrors.

DINING ROOM
Flowing through from the living room exists a further example of quintessential Parisian arrangement. Old and new draw the best from each other, as classic woos contemporary. Full of understated elegance, this congenial space gives itself to multi-coursed evening meals.

KITCHEN
You’re fully equipped to muster your culinary best in this spacious kitchen, which also offers a welcome spot for dining in a more casual setting.

PRINCIPAL BEDROOM
Sink into your queen size bed in the airy calm of this sky-blue sanctuary. You’ll have your own private balcony too - take a moment to yourself and enjoy the age-old pleasure of watching the world go by.

SECOND BEDROOM
This handy second bedroom enjoys its own queen size bed, and there’s a neat little en-suite attached too, providing wash basin and shower.

BATHROOM
The large, separated bathroom is a sleek interplay of shape and shade. Smooth textures of stone and sea-glass strike a delightfully modern chord - a perfectly refreshing environment adorned with shower, wash basin and W/C.

WE LOVE
There’s nothing better than discovering a city on foot - you never know what curiosities and delights you might find along the way. Why not make the fifteen-minute stroll up to the irresistibly charming Montmartre area and let fate surprise you.
