Louvre - Luxury Grand Opera
Let's start with the
1st arrondissement of Paris. Regarded as one of the most affluent parts of the city, this is where you'll find the
Louvre district. Home to the world-famous museum of the same name, the iconic Ritz hotel, and more, there's no doubt that this neighborhood is all about the glitzy side of Paris.

They can expect a roomy living room, a well-equipped kitchen, a huge TV in the living room, three big bedrooms, and more.
Marais - Palais Vosges
As the official “gayborhood” of Paris, the
Marais district is all about flamboyance and glamour. Don't be too surprised that many of the places here are flashy, loud, and colorful. Even the apartments here can get just as ostentatious. Case in point is this opulent three-bedroom luxury apartment near Place des Vosges. It's as if the one who designed the place was inspired by the Palaces of Versailles mixed in with the little Italian exuberance. The result is this gilded rental beaming with Baroque and Rococo design influences. From the hanging chandeliers to the brocade wallpaper in the drawing room, this apartment is truly a feast for the eyes.
Saint-Germain-des-Prés - Luxembourg Private Garden
There's no doubt that
Saint-Germain-des-Prés is one of the more upscale districts in Paris. Home to many hotspots and tourist sights, it's a place that both locals and tourists enjoy. So it makes sense that it's also one of the best places for you to stay in Paris. Just imagine if you got to rent this three-bedroom penthouse with its own private garden! Not only do you get to have as much space in Paris as you want, but you can have your own oasis of botanical bliss that's all your own. In such a crowded metropolis, you couldn't get any more luxurious than that!
Champs Elysées - Matignon Penthouse
What could be more luxurious than living in the famous
Champs Elysées area in Paris? Renting a full-blown penthouse in the Champs Elysées area in Paris! Located on Avenue Matignon, this two-story penthouse screams affluence from every corner. The fact that you'll have two floors in an apartment building all to yourself is already extraordinary, but it's even more amazing when that home comes with lots of space, fine furnishing, state-of-the-art appliances, and more. Don't forget about that divine view of the city too! You can see the Eiffel Tower from one corner of the penthouse and the Grand Palais on the other. What's not to love?
Madeleine - Tronchet Three-Bedroom
The Madeleine neighborhood is also in the
8th arrondissement of Paris, sharing in the affluence of the more famous Champs Elysées. So if you're looking for a chic home to move into, you'll find loads of them here. One of the best is this gorgeous three-bedroom apartment on Rue Tronchet, which leads up to La Madeleine Church. Designed in the classic French style, this is the sort of historic-looking flat that Paris is known for. Every detail, from the intricate wall trimmings and crystal chandelier to the brocade-upholstered sofas and fine wooden furnishing, evokes the upscale spirit of the neighborhood. The fact that the apartment is also air-conditioned is just the cherry on top!
Tour Eiffel - Beaugrenelle Tower 2
Let's all just admit that
living near the Eiffel Tower is the ultimate Parisian fantasy. Though many of the other neighborhoods in Paris are just as beautiful, pleasant, and idyllic, an apartment right by this world-famous monument is undoubtedly the ideal. You've likely various
movies set in Paris that show just how amazing it'd be to wake up to the Eiffel Tower each morning. If you live in this chic apartment in the Beaugrenelle Tower, you can have just that! The place has a clear view of the tower, thanks in large part to the massive windows—glass walls, essentially!—in the living room.
Trocadéro - Mandel
Another great
apartment with an Eiffel Tower view is this humble one-bedroom in Trocadéro. The place itself is a colorful hodge-podge of classic and modern influences. Oriental rugs and Victorian furniture add that classic touch that Parisian apartments are known for. Meanwhile, the kitchen is well-equipped with modern-day appliances and a nice washer-dryer unit. The bedroom has a cozy feel to it too. The floral touches add a dainty touch that'll help anyone relax after a busy day in Paris. Ultimately, this is the kind of home that welcomes you with open arms. It's a comfortable oasis within a bustling metropolis.
Opera - Lafayette Two-Bedroom
Because it's near famous avenues and monuments, not a lot of people realize that the Opera district is another of the more upscale neighborhoods of
Paris. Even its own centerpiece, Palais Garnier, steals most of the attention. The area that surrounds the iconic opera house is its own affluent district, complete with a treasure trove of some of the most luxurious apartments in Paris. One of them is this beautiful two-bedroom on Rue La Fayette. This air-conditioned rental comes with a spacious Rococo-style living room, two cozy bedrooms (one of which has an en suite bathroom), a well-equipped kitchen, a sunny terrace, and more.
Passy - Singer One-Bedroom
Finally, there's this stylish one-bedroom apartment in the
Passy neighborhood. Don't let its relatively small space fool you! Although it's a solo apartment in Paris, its design and layout make it look and feel bigger than it is. By having a chaise lounge instead of a full couch in the living room, for example, you get more legroom while still having ample seating by the fireplace. The circle dinner table also helps free up more space in the dining area while still having enough room for four people to dine all at once.
