WEEKEND IN PARIS

A life-long love of travel prompted husband and wife Molka and Stéphane Etienne to launch new venture Numéros Paris, a collection of bijoux apartments to rent in the French capital that showcase pieces by its artisans and makers. Enlisting Rebecca Benichou of Batiik Studio for the first pair of properties in Saint-Germain-des-Prés and Sentier (once the home of the Paris textile trade), the couple’s

‘mini hotels’ are design playgrounds – think statement headboards, zig-zag basins and bespoke nightstands designed using Nathalie Du Pasquier’s ‘Brac’ bricks for Mutina. From approx £117 per night (@numerosparis).
