There is no kind of travel more aesthetically satisfactory than French girl apartment swooning, perusing through picturesque Hausmannian pads where we could easily imagine ourselves living. These meticulously curated storybook homes almost make us want to pack up our suitcases and move into what modern dreams are made of.

We’ve compiled an array of French apartments, many which have been spruced up during the pandemic, to learn a bit more about what a modern French apartment looks like.  Which one would you pick?

1. Modern Parisian Greenhouse

Chloe Lecareux’s Parisian pad is one for the dreamers. As the light spills in through the paneled windows, the entire space is filled with a glimmer of magic. It is the City of Lights, after all! Lecareux moved into her new place during the pandemic. Having the extra time to focus on details, she adorned it with bespoke pieces that truly match her unique style.

2. Provence Chic

Jeanne Damas proves that Provence can exist within the walls of Paris, using an array of dried flowers, vintage mirrors, and plenty of wicker baskets. Her space features a picnic table and plenty of books and decor stacked floor-to-ceiling for a casual thrift store look.

While Lindsey Tramuta’s apartment is picture-perfect inside as well, the views from this apartment make living there through lockdown seem almost worth it.

Mismatched chairs, a bit messy, and yet entirely regal with its plastered wall design and beautiful structure, there are just some apartments that scream “Parisian.” Prioritizing comfort makes this homey space perfect for Anne Laure and her new bébé.

6. Just Woke Up Like This

There is a certain kind of contemporary cool that French girls excel at, one with neutral colors and disheveled minimalism. Fanny B lives in what we would call a perfectly modern French home decorated with all the Instagrammably beautiful items we could imagine.

7. La Famille

Imagine raising two angels in Paris in Ajiri Aki’s Parisian pad, the perfect backdrop of an elegant Architectural Digest-ready home. We’d move in in a heartbeat… maybe she’s looking to adopt a few adult francophiles? We can only dream.

8. ART-Perfect

Where does a modern artist live in Paris? In a nostalgia-fueled loft/studio space filled with paintings, feathers, and a vintage globe bar, of course. Ideal for sparking creative inspiration.

Modern-day romantic? Rachelle Cunningham seems like she has time traveled from a different era with her Parisian apartment decorated with paintings and flowers, just to teach us a thing or two about decor.
