Apartment

Who needs museums when you can stay in one? This extraordinary Parisian residence is housed in a classified historic monument built in 1639 by Cardinal Richelieu, Prime Minister to King Louis XIII. Steeped in centuries of history, the building once formed part of the kitchens and outbuildings of the Palais Royal and is even said to have been a former residence of young Louis XIV. Today, it offers a rare opportunity to live inside Parisian heritage, with direct views of the Louvre Museum and the Palais Royal right outside your windows.

Perfectly positioned in one of the most coveted locations in Paris, just steps from the Louvre and the Jardins du Palais Royal, this apartment places you at the very heart of the city’s cultural and architectural splendor. Place de Valois itself is a destination, famously featured as a key filming location in Emily in Paris, and on occasion lucky guests have even witnessed filming scenes unfolding directly below from the comfort of the apartment.

Fully renovated, the residence seamlessly blends historic grandeur with contemporary design. Every square inch has been thoughtfully curated to highlight elegant volumes, noble materials, and abundant natural light. A spectacular glass-roofed lounge floods the interior with sunlight while offering breathtaking views over the Royal Palace and the Louvre. The refined dining room, centered around a stunning marble table seating up to 12 guests, is ideal for memorable gatherings and celebrations.

The apartment is designed for both comfort and indulgence. Several bedrooms feature freestanding or whirlpool bathtubs, transforming everyday routines into moments of pure luxury—perfect for unwinding after a day exploring Paris with a glass of French wine in hand. Generous communal spaces invite togetherness, while the private sleeping quarters offer calm and intimacy, making the layout ideal for families, groups of friends, or refined gatherings seeking an exceptional Parisian stay.

The apartment includes a living room overlooking Place de Valois, a spectacular glass-roofed lounge with views of the Palais Royal and the Louvre, a formal dining room with seating for 12 guests, and a fully equipped kitchen. It also offers three shared bathrooms (two with shower without WC and one with shower and WC), two private en-suite bathrooms, and two separate WCs.

Sleeping arrangements include a first bedroom with a queen-size bed and en-suite bathroom featuring a whirlpool bath (no WC), a second bedroom with a queen-size bed and en-suite bathroom with a freestanding bathtub (no WC), three additional bedrooms each with a double bed, and a convertible sofa bed in the living room for two guests.
