Located on one of my favourite Paris squares, Place des Vosges, is this beautiful feminine and romantic apartment. Once home to a famous mistress to nobility everything about this residence says 'you are in Paris'. This is an apartment I would escape to for the weekend....
Beautiful fabrics, wonderful textures, antiques and books fill the apartment giving each of the rooms the most wonderful character and detail.
The exquisite bedroom with its views over the blue slate rooftops of the square.
Looking down the hallway to the powder room...I love the contrast of the dark wall and the timber parquet floor.
I would invite you over for some afternoon tea and macaroons.
Just step outside to explore the fashionable galleries surrounding the square or just stop for a moment and enjoy the beauty of the gardens....Ax

So divine. I can imagine myself on the sofa sipping rosé Champagne. Merci!
This time last year this was my reality...oh how I want to be there again walking the square and the gardens...the parks in Paris are just something else! Thanks so much for sharing and taking me back! XO
Hi Amanda just found your blog, I was really captivated by the "Paris retreat" title since I am planning to visit there on the next few months. Probably staying in a cheap hotel thou so I will only dream to experience such a luxury like this apt! Following you, come visit some time!
hugs and kisses from Rio de Janeiro!
A beautiful apartment!
I particularly like the armchairs in the second picture - we only see the back of them.
Can someone tell me what this style of armchair is called?
oh yes, I gotta stay there sometime!
Truly a beautiful apartment.
I could move right in and be very happy!

I LOVE La Place de Vosges. It really is my favourite place in Paris. Not many touristes know about it and it 's tucked away and oh so romantique. One of my first dates with my husband was there. That appartement would suit me 100%!

hmmmm.....didn´t I see just this apartment in my dreams??????
tove,Norway ;P
No wonder if any one want to shift on these apartments.
This apartment is truly superb. I lived many years in Paris in Neuilly but always dreamt of living on Pl des Vosges. The area has several gems like this one - I agree with a previous poster about macaroons - strawberry flavored are my favourites. What a fabulous set of pictures - makes me nostalgic for Paris. Interior design is very different where I now live in Finland.
hhhmmm thinking about wholesale with you... thoughts? xx
Off to try & convince Management to have our next Sales Meeting in Paris with my accommodation in this exquisite apartment! Beats the wilds of North Ryde hands down.
