16 rooms, or nothing at the heart of avenue Foch, in Paris

From the Place de l'Étoile to Porte Dauphine, avenue Foch, that carries the name of a former Marshal of France, is the largest artery in the country and also one of the most expensive in terms of real estate. Even though there are no longer any stables, it is not rare to encounter horseback riders along the side-alleys redesigned by Baron Haussmann, on their way to enjoy a canter in the Bois de Boulogne.

Avenue Foch, the ultra chic address of Paris

Behind the beautiful facades of buildings on both sides of the avenue, there are many handsome surfaces, yet discrete, even secret, such as this duplex that counts up to 16 rooms. It's the ideal space to house leading personalities, seeking tranquility while transiting through the capital.

An apartment with palace allures

Renovated by an English architect, its 800 m², entirely air-conditioned, are discovered after having walked up the honor staircase. It reveals several reception rooms, five suites with dressing rooms, a professional kitchen to organize cocktails and dinners, a home cinema, a well-being space with a hairdressing salon and a hammam. A real small palace in the middle of Paris !
