Champs de Mars - La Bourdonnais Penthouse
Let's start this lovely 70-square meter La Bourdonnais Penthouse near Champ de Mars in the
7th arrondissement. As a luxury apartment in Paris, it's a nice one-bedroom rental that's perfect for a newlywed couple or even a family of three. The size is just right, the amenities are all complete, and its location makes it prime real estate. As for the terrace, it's a big but cozy space that can serve as a small escape from the rest of the city. If you want to get some fresh air but don't want to go out, stepping onto this terrace will do.
Tour Eiffel - Trocadero Albert de Mun
Fairly near the same area is this exquisite two-bedroom apartment in the
Trocadéro area. Thanks to its proximity to the world-famous monument, this rental's terrace has the
best view of the Eiffel Tower. You're practically next-door neighbors with the tower, and it greets you every time you step out on the terrace. Having brunch here or even just a breather instantly places you face-to-face with the iconic tower. You couldn't have asked for a more quintessentially Parisian view than this! In turn, this makes the apartment quintessentially Parisian too. What more could you ask for?
Champs Elysées - Paul Baudry II
On Rue Paul Baudry in the very upscale
Champs Elysées area, this two-bedroom luxury apartment has an apartment-wide terrace that's perfect for getting some sun. It's not exactly big enough to fit in a table so you can have brunch outside, but you can at least put in a few potted plants for some botanical bliss. Ultimately, this terrace is for getting some sun and fresh air in the middle of the bustling French capital. When you need a breather, a place for meditation, or perhaps even a spot for a cigarette break (smoke moderately though!), this terrace is perfect for you!
Grands Boulevards – Folie Bergere
This studio apartment in the Opéra district may not be the biggest, but it's ideal for any single adult living in the city. It's in a good location, the size is just right, and just look at that idyllic terrace! It's a sunny spot in a bustling part of the French capital. If you find that the room inside is too small for a nice meal, you can always eat out on the terrace instead. Welcome the morning with a
cup of coffee, a croissant, and lots of sunshine. You can't get any more Parisian than that!
Luxembourg - Medicis
The terrace in this two-bedroom apartment near Jardin du Luxembourg in the
6th arrondissement is perhaps the dreamiest on this list. For one thing, it overlooks the famous Parisian park, offering a breathtaking view that's worth putting on a postcard. Imagine waking up to such a beautiful scene every morning! You'd thank your lucky stars that you got this place when you
moved to Paris. The fairly generous size of the terrace is worth noting too. It's big enough to fit in a table and chair, making for a nice breakfast spot, especially when it's sunny outside.
Monceau - Wagram Four-Bedroom
What's great about the terrace on this four-bedroom near Parc Monceau is that it matches the tropical vibe of the apartment. You can't ignore the palm tree prints and raffia details throughout the home. They add a tropical touch to the space, reminiscent of the dreamy and sunny scenes on the
French Riviera. The terrace serves as an extension of that. The woven furniture and raffia fence further emphasize the warm atmosphere of the Mediterranean. If you don't have time and money to escape to the seaside towns in the South, you can always hang out here and get the feel of it.
Notre Dame - Galande Three-Bedroom
This terrace on this air-conditioned three-bedroom rental near Notre Dame isn't just an outdoor extension of the apartment. It's a full-blown rooftop deck that's perfect for
hosting a soirée in Paris. You could even go so far as to say it's the best place for such an event. Not only does it have the space for it, but the view includes the iconic church. You'd have no problem impressing your guests with such a view and there's no doubt that it'll help make the soirée a hit. Oftentimes, Parisian apartments with terraces are worth renting for the view alone. This particular rental is a prime example of that!
Republique - Oberkampf
Getting this three-bedroom apartment on Avenue de la Republique is already hitting a jackpot. Not only is it in a popular area in the city, but the place itself is pretty exquisite. It boasts a lot of space, a grand fireplace to keep you warm in winter, and a covered terrace that can serve as a nice sunroom. A terrace typically lets you drown in some sunshine when it's warm and right outside. This doesn't have to stop just because it's covered in glass. On the contrary, this kind of terrace lets you enjoy some peace outside even when it's raining.
If you want the most idyllic luxury apartment in Paris, get one that has a great terrace. There's nothing more dreamy than a chic home in the French capital with a sunny terrace that offers a beautiful view!
