Once the residence of King Charles VI’s mistress Marie Touchet, this is a truly spectacular home from our Paris collection. Wake from your glamorous master bedroom and peer out over the Place des Vosges from your Juliet balcony. To stay in a historic Renaissance building in an elegant square in the heart of the Marais is a rare gift. Just under a twenty-minute walk from the Notre Dame and only fourteen minutes (on foot) from the Bastille, this location is not only affluent, but it's also right in the middle of the city. Back to the home, the hosts entrusted the refurbishment to the famous interior designer Jacques Grange, who has made the place into a real monument. Between the chandeliers, the antique furniture, and the beautifully preserved original structures, you’re unlikely to find a more luxurious apartment. Choose between a rustic and warming living room with 200-year-old ceiling beams, vintage rugs and quirky wallpaper prints or an opulent, pearly-white living room with grand wall mouldings and a glass-topped coffee table. Elsewhere, the bedrooms are a continuation of the sophistication and refinement found in the communal areas – all three bedrooms are accompanied by stunning en-suite bathrooms, two of which... offer swanky bathtubs while the other is a marble-clad masterpiece. Indeed, this entire apartment is nothing short of a Monet masterpiece itself.
