The Grand Duchess in Paris, Île-de-France

The Grand Duchess Self-Catering

This stunning penthouse apartment is all about the luxury details. From its herringbone wood floors to its wine cellar, piano, fireplace and marble freestanding bathtubs, it’s the ultimate definition of the “art de vivre.” Views of the Seine and the Eiffel Tower add to its charm, as do the many artworks and murals decorating the carefully curated bedrooms. Its luxe decor is particularly fitting given the home’s swish postcode in one of the city’s most fashionable districts, with the Champs Elysees, the Arc de Triomphe and the Musée Yves Saint Laurent all within easy walking distance.


Home truths:
*There's a lift in the building to access the apartment
*Given the home's central location, some street noise is to be expected – light sleepers may wish to pack earplugs
*There's no desk here, but the dining table can double up as a laptop-friendly workspace
*The apartment is visited daily by a housekeeper
*The bedrooms' fireplaces are purely decorative
*We recommend skipping the car here and exploring Paris on foot or by public transport instead
