The best Airbnbs in Paris, loved by guests and available during the Olympics
Where to stay in style during the Paris Olympics
Paris is always a good idea. This bucket-list destination is known by many monikers – the City of Love, the City of Light – but whichever you know it by, Paris is a place that will make your spirits soar. It’s long been the chicest spot for a city break, in enviably close proximity to the UK and with endless allure for visitors, whether you’re seeking a cultural trip, a fine food-filled weekend, or simply some languid days wandering up and down the River Seine.
PARISIAN AIRBNBS LOVED BY GUESTS
But now there’s another very compelling reason to visit this long-loved city: the Paris Olympics. The 2024 Summer Olympics are happening in Paris from 26 July to 11 August in the Parc des Champions, or Champions Park, which will be created in Trocadéro Gardens, at the foot of the Eiffel Tower.
The only question is where to stay in Paris for the 2024 Olympics? While the city has many magnificent hotels, there’s nothing quite like having a place to call your own for the duration of stay – that’s where Airbnb comes in, with a host of unique and charming spots to rent. From luxurious spaces in the centre of the city to unique pieds-à-terre in stylish neighbourhoods near Montmartre and Le Marais, some of the best Airbnbs in Paris still have availability over the 2024 Olympics.
And, of course, the best Airbnbs in Paris are those loved by guests and thanks to Airbnb’s new ‘Guest Favourite’ category, it’s possible to find the highest rated, best reviewed places to stay in the city.
