With a history as colourful as its interior design, this home in trendy South Pigalle is full of theatrical elegance and quirky artistic curiosities. Once belonging to the Countess of Ségur as well as to painter Jean-Édouard Vuillard, the home pays tribute to its creative past with a display of portraits, musical instruments and articles of virtu that come together in a kaleidoscope of fascinating beauty. Amidst the herringbone flooring, high ceilings, decorative fireplaces, ornate moulding and objets d’art, the living room’s crowning glory is the balcony with views of the Sacré-Cœur. Sit here in the morning with your coffee while taking in views of the basilica and the Square Berlioz that Vuillard captured in his paintings. Alternatively, choose instead to begin your day on the master bedroom’s balcony, in the second bedroom's winter garden or on the terrace where there’s a vegetable patch. With a cinema screen, a piano, a marimba and a working fireplace to curl up next to with a good book, you can while away entire days in this eclectic home, without ever wanting to leave. When you do decide to venture out, Montmartre’s bohemian streets are just a ten-minute walk away, while countless bistros, boutiques...

Home truths

    The kitchen is a bit basic here and is more functional than extravagant

    South Pigalle is one of Paris' trendiest neighbourhoods, but its edgy side might not suit those who prefer a chicer Paris

    A high chair and children's toys are available – just ask the host when booking

    This is very much a lived-in home, so you'll find many of the owner's belongings in the rooms

    This home is located on the second floor and is accessible via a lift, although access isn't wheelchair friendly

    There is only one set of keys

About South Pigalle

South Pigalle, previously a rather seedy corner of Paris (home to the Moulin Rouge), has picked up a new nickname, 'SoPi', and gone all trendy.
