A private mansion on the gardens of the Palais Royal sold for 25 million euros

The Parisian real estate market has set a real record with the sale of this complex designed as a private mansion embracing the paths of the Palais Royal gardens. An enclave where French elegance reigns supreme — Colette's former apartment decorated by Jacques Grange is very close by.

Decorative goldsmith work facing the gardens of the Palais Royal

As soon as you enter this 18th century complex, your eye is drawn to the rich decorative ornaments. The hand-painted wall frescoes coexist with touches of red marble and the nobility of certain rooms, such as this double wrought iron staircase banister, fashioned by the sculptor Diego Giacometti himself. You have to take this staircase to reach the top floor, which is pierced above the gardens of the Palais Royal. The windows of the private mansion open onto the double rows of lime trees trimmed into a marquise, the gravel paths in sight and the great Parisian monuments on the horizon - you can see the Montparnasse Tower in the distance.

A unique mansion, sold for several million euros

Rare are the Parisian apartments that enjoy this view. The surface area, moreover, is astonishing; 650 square meters spread over five levels with elevator and a noble floor where the ceiling height reaches almost four meters high. The light seems to invite itself into each room of this complex designed like a mansion, facing due south without any vis-à-vis and equipped with an interior patio on the fourth floor. It is a testimony to the history of the city that was sold for the sum of 25 million euros by the John Taylor agency. At the crossroads of the Louvre Museum, the Tuileries Gardens and the Place Vend?me, the apartment for sale is accessible either from the rue de Beaujolais or from the arcades on the garden side of the Palais Royal. A prestigious address, more Parisian than ever.
