charming home in the 14th arrondissement - Parc-de-Montsouris

This charming home in the 14th arrondissement, tucked away from the central bustle, would suit a family looking for ample space with bucket loads of character – and some outdoor greenery to boot. We couldn't help falling for its quirks, especially the creaky floors, squeaky doors and the beautiful painted ceiling in the master bedroom. From a bright conservatory kitchen to a secluded garden study, there are plenty of places to get the whole brood together as well as private nooks for quiet moments with a page-turner. Pack a picnic and take the five-minute walk over to Montsouris Park – we recommend finding a spot by the lake. The eerie Catacombs of Paris, sleek Cartier Foundation for Contemporary Art and the famous La Closerie des Lilas café, frequented by Ernest Hemingway no less, are all within a twenty-minute stroll from your doorstep.

This part of town is mostly residential but works well as a base for exploring the charms of the nearby 6th and the 7th arrondissements. It was famously home to a community of prominent twentieth-century artists and intellectuals - Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, Max Ernst and Pablo Picasso to name a few. Parc Montsouris is one of the city's most colourful public spaces and well worth seeking out. Be sure to check out the Roman Catacombs too if you're of the morbid disposition - stacks of skulls and bones await you!
