This one bedroom apartment is just a 10-minute walk from the Arc de Triomphe and set in the courtyard of a 19th century Haussmannian building on Boulevard Malesherbes. Accommodation is limited with just the bedroom, small kitchen, bathroom and separate lavatory. Music lovers will be glad it is near the old opera house - and it's going for what in fin de siecle Paris is a song.

Price: £118,000 sterling.
