UNIQUELY LUXURIOUS STAY RUE DU BAC
UNIQUELY LUXURIOUS STAY RUE DU BAC
The apartment is spectacular and makes you feel like you are in the Renaissance Period with its art and decoration
Ancient fabrics, fibers, marbles, brasses. Different textures and materials coexist in harmony. A veritable kaleidoscope of opulence, your eyes will be pinballing in every direction to soak up the grandeur of this incredible space.
A subtle weave of cultures and historical periods, of East and West united in a distillation of elegance . It is the leitmotif of this pied-à-terre in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, chosen by a famous architect as a buen retiro during his stays in the Ville Lumière. It is located on the second floor of a building from 1830, between the 6th arrondissement and the extreme eastern edge of the 7th, a strategic area dotted with tree-lined avenues, galleries and cafes. Relatively modest in size (one hundred and twenty square meters), the house expresses an aesthetic that is free from rules: «I don't let myself be influenced by anything, much less by fashions. I love to freely create the ideal background to give voice to dreams , while at the same time showing the fascinating layers of the various eras ".
A unique and very personal ensemble, nourished by memories, emotions and loved objects. For the frame, the Architect preserved the original elements as much as possible. In particular, in the living room, the past is breathed in between the very high ceilings and an oak parquet , which has been dismantled, worked and repositioned. The fixtures boast enchanting touches, such as the handles carved with minute motifs, so that they look like miniature sculptures. The black and white marble in the entrance and in the guest bedroom comes from an old French estate. For the rest, each detail is the result of a contemporary restyling, while respecting the context. An example of this are profiles and moldings added from scratch in the living room: they give a classic aura, but the design speaks a current language. From its tall corniced ceilings to its parquet floors and draped French windows giving way to elegant Juliet balconies, there’s an air of sophistication the moment you walk through the door. And then there’s the decor that’s dripping in extravagance and regal splendour – gold sphere chandeliers, antique wingback chairs, ornamental fireplaces, busts and statues galore and marble detailing every which way you look.
The master bedroom feels like an intimate art gallery with its plethora of portraits, books and vintage furniture while the master bath beckons with its marble tub, ideal for a long soak with a glass of bubbly after a day of seeing the sights. Speaking of exploring, this is a particularly excellent base for aesthetes with the Musée d’Orsay a six-minute walk away and the Louvre reachable on foot in ten, while the romantic Pont des Arts is a twelve-minute stroll from your door.

The apartment is located in Paris City Center, a neighbourhood in Paris, and is near a metro station. Louvre Museum and Palais Garnier are cultural highlights, and some of the area's notable landmarks include Arc de Triomphe and Notre-Dame.
The Quai Voltaire is a street located in the 7th arrondissement of Paris. 308 meters long, it lies between the Quai Malaquais and Quai Anatole-France. The Quai Voltaire begins at the Rue des Saints-Pères and ends at the Rue de Bac and the Pont Royal.
Originally the Quai Voltaire was the western portion of the Quai Malaquais. In 1644 it was renamed Quai des Théatins after some Theatines built a monastery on the quai (Today located at No. 23 and No. 25 Quai Voltaire). In 1791, the wharf became known as the Quai Voltaire in homage to the writer who died in 1778 in the home of Charles, marquis de Villette. After Honoré de Balzac set his novel La Peau de chagrin in the Quai Voltaire, antique shops became common in the quai. In the early nineteenth century the area became a well-known place for booksellers to peddle their wares.
