If you’re after historic charm, this recently converted home offers the rare opportunity to stay in one of Paris’ oldest townhouses dating back to the early 15th century. Sprawling over 6 floors, this Marais pad is definitely one for a sprightly group of friends rather than those who have mobility issues. An added bonus, each room has been designed as an individual suite with its own kitchen, living room and bathroom. Although this may not suit those looking for large open communal spaces, it has the added bonus of giving each couple their own privacy.
