Long considered the paragon of style, Paris is quite possibly the most glamorous city in Europe. Romantically labeled the "City of Light", the capital of France is the apex of architectural beauty, artistic expression, and culinary delight. It is also a savory mélange of old and new, as centuries-old palaces and monuments steeped in history share the skyline companionably with modern commercial complexes, and exquisite cheeses made according to strict tradition appear alongside such international fare as couscous on menus.

For such an important cultural center and seat of government, Paris is relatively small which means most scenic highlights are within walking distance and this is what makes Paris an ideal place for a villa rental in France. Luxury Retreats villa rentals in Paris are located in the heart of the city's most beautiful districts where you will be surrounded by a true Parisian's-eye-view of the open-air markets, corner cafés and meandering little streets that make this urban paradise so famous.

Explore classic sights like the Tour Eiffel, Notre-Dame cathedral, Louvre and Arc de Triomphe, or pick up a fresh golden baguette and enjoy a leisurely picnic on the banks of the Seine River or at one of the unexpected grassy knolls that you come across during your excursions. Indeed, Paris is the city of dreams for flâneurs (thoughtful and relaxed strollers) as well as for artists, intellectuals, philosophers and of course, lovers.

As Ernest Hemingway once wrote, "There is never any ending to Paris" and once you experience a villa rental in the heart of this wondrous city, you too will see how there is a lifetime of discoveries waiting for you in Paris.
