Eiffel Tower Avenue Bosquet, 7th district, Paris, France Vacation Rental

Head here for high sophistication, aching views and the location, as Roland Barthes once said, where the Eiffel Tower is the compass point and Paris is its circumference. Here you can join the mandarins of France's elite civil service, the diplomats, strategists and policy-makers who call this favoured part of Paris home. Everything about this two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment is in exquisite taste. The fittings and furnishings are of the highest contemporary quality, the style impeccable. A period fireplace and large gilt overmantle mirror, original wood floors and the floor-to-ceiling French windows are all testament to the apartment's historic roots, but the vibe is pure contemporary chic. An elevator whisks you to your piece of designer heaven on the fourth floor where the light and views reflect your elevated position: you can even see the tower herself jutting from behind the rooftops. The master bedroom oozes privacy and comfort with its own superbly appointed bathroom while guests are invited to sleep on a large sofa bed conveniently served with their own bathroom. A fully-fitted kitchen has everything you need and is stylishly appointed. If you are the kind of person who knows your Starck chairs and Roche Bobois sofas, this beacon of style will not disappoint.

The 7th arrondissement right on the left bank of the Seine is dominated by the capital's most famous landmark, the Eiffel Tower, but is also home to the French National Assembly and a number of government departments. It is a popular residential area with high-ranking officials and as a result has an upmarket, restrained atmosphere a little like London's Westminster or the Upper East Side in New York. Here you can jog in the Champs de Mars, enjoy art and lunch in the Musée d'Orsay and stroll around the wide, tree-lined streets feeling like a true, well-heeled Parisian. In spite of the crowds who teem over the bridges to the famous iron tower by day, by evening the 7th returns to its roots and comfortable neighbourhood restaurants, bakeries and corner cafés are filled with upmarket locals. Enjoy.
