In Burgundy, an hour and ten minutes from Paris, an 18th century mansion house. This mansion house stands in the midst of extensive wooded, enclosed parklands in the middle of the town. Spiked, wrought iron gates open into parklands, laid out in a French formal manner and bordered by old walls, pleasantly covered with wisteria and vines. In front of the residence is a parterre planted with old roses. Various species of tall trees, over a hundred years old, set the tone. Behind the building is a small, medieval vegetable garden, planted with different herbs. Historical background This mansion house was built in 1780 as part of the major urban planning works, including the construction of the town hall and the development of the banks of the river Yonne, that took place in the town in the 18th century. A middle-class home, it stands but a few metres from the political and military decision-making centres and accommodated such illustrious characters as Prince Ferdinand-Philippe, Duke of Orléans, oldest son of King Louis-Philippe. A private ball was held in his honour in the mansion house’s staterooms. This historic property was then lived in by Fernand-Schneider, a great military character, one of whose sons married one of the daughters of Jacques-Chaband-Delmas. The Schneider family remained here until 2010.

There are addresses that transcend the centuries without ever losing their power to captivate. Places so exceptionally rare that they seem to belong more to history and heritage than to the real estate market. Hidden from view on the Left Bank, along the iconic Quai de la Tournelle, this confidential residence stands as a true collector’s piece. Overlooking the Seine, Île Saint-Louis and embracing the majestic silhouette of Notre-Dame Cathedral, it offers a privilege that has become almost impossible to find: the opportunity to experience Paris as a well-kept secret. Behind its discreet façade lies a residence of more than 350 square metres, whose spirit evokes an elegant country house far more than a Parisian apartment. Here, time seems to stand still. Light dances across the river, while the changing seasons unfold in the private garden. The generous reception rooms open naturally onto the Seine, a contemporary kitchen and a family television lounge extending seamlessly towards a private 110-square-metre garden. A truly extraordinary luxury in the heart of historic Paris, this secluded green sanctuary offers a sense of space and freedom long thought to have disappeared from the city centre. More than a garden, it is a place to breathe, a refuge, a privilege. The principal suite, conceived as a private apartment within the residence, features an elegant bathroom, walk-in shower, sauna and hammam, creating an intimate retreat where wellbeing becomes a way of life. Four additional bedrooms, a study easily converted into a fifth bedroom, several further bathrooms, bespoke joinery throughout and three private parking spaces complete this remarkable property.

A residence of this calibre cannot be measured solely by its size or its address. Its true value lies in the emotion it inspires, in its absolute impossibility to replicate, and in the story it offers those fortunate enough to call it home. For an international family seeking a lasting Parisian legacy, for a collector of iconic assets, or for a passionate lover of Paris, this residence represents far more than an acquisitionit is the promise of a legacy to be passed from one generation to the next.

A 130 m² flat with a living room whose decor is listed, in a small Directoire-style building overlooking a garden, close to the Jardin du Luxembourg. The flat occupies the right wing of a small listed town house, hidden from the street by a modern building designed by Jean Dubuisson, winner of the Grand Prix de Rome in 1945. A caretaker is on duty at all times. A first glass entrance, secured by a code followed by an intercom, provides access to a vast hall in grey marble, which is under video surveillance. Through large glass walls, a shady garden can be seen, with white gravel paths, planted with acacias and sycamores and punctuated by small circular beds of rhododendrons, ivy and hydrangeas. At the end of the 19th century, the site housed painters' studios. The most famous painters to work there were Alfons Mucha and Jean Dupas. Built in 1796, the Hôtel Scelles is a remarkable example of late 18th-century architecture. Designed for the sculptor and marble-maker François Scelles, the building occupies part of the estate of the Carmélites convent, sold as national property during the Revolution. The building's strictly ordered facade is one storey higher than the ground floor and is opened up by five windows on either side of a central main building. The latter, set between two slender marble pilasters at a very slight projection, is enhanced by three triangular pediments on the main floor. Dating back to the 17th century, the stone baluster cornice, together with the flat roof, reflect the French-style roofing of the 18th century. The second floor of the central section dominates the façade, with three arched windows topped by a sculpted clasp. Two stone brackets support the ensemble, which is topped by a curved pediment pierced by an oculus housing the bust of François Scelles. A private entrance, at the right-hand corner of the façade, leads to two dwellings. The door reveals a hallway with a cloakroom and a staircase leading to the first floor. With six high windows lined with wooden shutters facing south-west and opening on to the garden, it comprises a kitchen, a dining room of almost 18 m², and a bedroom of around 15 m² with a bathroom and dressing room. Adjoining the dining room, which is listed as a historic monument, there is a reception room measuring some 38 m² with a vaulted ceiling and a large arched fanlight to the west. The interior decoration of the grand salon, built on the site of Louise de La Vallière's former oratory, is remarkable due to the quality, diversity and rarity of the marble covering the walls in shades of puce, Languedoc red and Pyrenean green. Purple breccia pilasters crowned with capitals support a moulded cornice framing a wide border painted in Pompeian-style grisaille, featuring women dressed in antique style, on either side of busts of famous men depicted in trompe-l'œil medallions. There are solid mahogany double doors throughout. A wooden staircase in the dining room leads to a second attic level. Two bedrooms of around 10 and 16 m² with exposed beams, a bathroom and a separate toilet occupy the first floor. There is also an underground parking space and a cellar, both accessible by lift.
