Subtly ethnic styling, modern travel comforts and its superb Louvre location help put this central Paris apartment on the shortlist for your short stay or city break in the capital.

Open, bright space and simple furnishings are complimented with touches of pattern, texture and aboriginal-style art prints in a warm and welcoming colour scheme.

Including the picturesque views over Paris' most central and popular Louvre-Les Halles district, it's no wonder the Châtelet Cinq apartment is a holiday favourite in Paris rentals.

The apartment sits in an unbeatable location in the 1er arrondissement, just beside the famous Rue de Rivoli and minutes from the Louvre museum or the river Seine.

This central area is saught-after for its convenience and character, with an array of shops, bakeries and picture-postcard streets, right in the heart of the city. A scenic stroll takes you to the prettiest avenue in the world, the dazzling Champs Elysées with its Arc de Triomphe.
