In the heart of Paris’s 6th arrondissement, in the highly sought-after Saint-Placide district, this independent house of approximately 370 sqm offers an exceptional living environment, sheltered from view.
Tucked away at the end of a private lane, it enjoys remarkable peace and quiet, a south-facing exposure and abundant natural light throughout the day.
Arranged over four levels and opening onto an approximately 80 sqm garden with no overlooking neighbours, a true rarity in Paris, it combines the advantages of a family home with the creative spirit that defines the Left Bank.
Reimagined by architects Florence Tajan and Nicolas Jandrot, the property stands out for its strong artistic identity and the outstanding quality of its materials.
From the moment one enters, the pietra paesina stone sets the tone for a home conceived as a true work of art.
The ground floor features a living room with fireplace opening onto the garden, a kitchen and a studio that can serve as an office or additional bedroom.
The staircase, enhanced by two monumental frescoes by Galatée Martin paying tribute to Henri Matisse, forms the centrepiece of the house.
Underfloor heating throughout the living areas further enhances the sense of comfort.
The garden, a natural extension of the reception rooms, was designed by renowned landscape architect Pierre Alexandre Risser.
Conceived as a private green oasis in the heart of Paris, it contributes significantly to the property's unique and secluded character.
The upper floors accommodate three air conditioned bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom.
The fully fitted lower level comprises a spacious living area, a games room, a bedroom with bathroom and independent access, a laundry room, a pantry, and a wine cellar of more than 12 sqm.
Formerly the residence of photographer Marc Vaux, who welcomed artists such as Henri Matisse and Jean Dubuffet here, the property still bears the imprint of its artistic heritage.
Rare for its independence, natural light, private garden and singular character, it is a true artist’s house in the heart of Paris’s 6th arrondissement.
