A Masterpiece of French Artistry on the Left Bank

Occupying an entire floor of a legendary 17th-century mansion on one of the Left Bank’s most coveted residential streets, this sophisticated residence offers an unparalleled living experience.

The apartment is a testament to refined Parisian artistry, where period details create an atmosphere of understated grandeur. Original late 17th-century parquet de Versailles flooring and stone floors lie beneath high ceilings, complemented by exquisite wood panelling that adorns the walls.

The interiors are further elevated by antique furniture and a collection of Aubusson rugs, each piece carefully curated to enhance the classic French aesthetic. Light floods the space from three exposures, offering captivating views towards the iconic Saint-Sulpice church and into a tranquil, historic courtyard, creating a serene ambience throughout.

The home’s illustrious history is palpable, once forming part of a grand ‘hôtel particulier’ (private mansion) whose notable French residents have included Robespierre and the Cardinal de Polignac.

Access is gained via a magnificent, listed staircase, a work of art in itself, famously photographed by Atget, which serves the second-floor walk-up. The layout is designed for both grand-scale entertaining and intimate daily life.

The spacious master suite is a quiet, private retreat, featuring a large bedroom, a mirrored wardrobe, and an en suite bathroom. Two additional bedrooms share a well-appointed bathroom, ensuring comfort and privacy for family and guests alike. Classic tall French windows in every room reinforce the connection to the building’s storied past and the vibrant city beyond.

The location is simply unmatched, nestled on a quiet, historic street between the majestic Place Saint-Sulpice and the Jardin du Luxembourg, both just a minute’s stroll away. The immediate neighbourhood offers the finest elements of Parisian life: traditional cafés, celebrated bookshops, legendary antique shops and galleries, and Mulot, one of the city's premier boulangeries.

The famous Saint-Germain covered market and several outstanding open-air markets, including the renowned Marché Raspail, are within easy walking distance and the Marché Mouffetard, the legendary food street-market immortalised by Hemingway in his Paris memoir, 'A Moveable Feast'. With the Louvre, Île de la Cité, and the boutiques of Saint-Germain-des-Prés a short stroll away, and excellent Metro and bus links at your doorstep, this residence places the very heart of Parisian culture and sophistication at your command.
