The Saint Sebastien Residence
Perks for the Parents
This bohemian chic apartment in an former leather workshop, 5 minutes’ walk from Le Marais, is a dream pick for those who love to travel, and sleeps up to 5. Decorated with exotic artwork and sculptures and with a bedroom evoking the style of a traveling caravan, it’s worldly, interesting and unique. Best of all, for this part of central Paris, it also has a small outdoor space in the shape of a shaded deck with a seating area, ideal for a lazy lunch. It’s in a great location, close to restaurants, cafés and boutiques of Le Marais and is well connected via metro with the rest of the city, making it perfect for urban explorers. The kids rooms all have charpoy beds and housekeeping is included in the rate.
Why Kids Love it
DVDs and toys available for kids; there is no high chair or crib. Babycare rental firms in the city may be able to provide equipment for younger children. The charpoy beds add a dash of adventure to bedtime. The location is great for easy cycling in the city. The residence is walking distance to a lot of lovely family-friendly attractions: Bastille, Place de la République, Canal Saint Martin and the pedestrian and cycle path from Place de la Bastille. Grocery stores and fresh produce stalls are 5-10 minutes’ walk away, with a market nearby 4 days a week and a municipal swimming pool nearby.
Things to Know

About the Location
The residence is in a wonderful area of Paris, walking distance from Le Marais and with bars, cafes and shops on the street outside, yet far from touristy.

Style Notes
Modern bohemian. With unique design and artwork, books to browse and a paper-mâché sculpture of a polar bear in the hall, this apartment is a real one-off. The charpoy beds make staying here an exotic adventure, while wallpaper details, exposed beams and modern touches create joyful corners throughout. We love the beautiful details and boho style: fairy lights, art, Buddha busts and carvings from around the world.
