House
Saint-Placide 325,61 m²

Nestled in the heart of Paris’s 6th arrondissement, in the highly sought-after Saint-Placide neighborhood, this detached residence of approximately 370 sqm offers an exceptional living environment, completely sheltered from view.

Set at the end of a private lane, the property enjoys remarkable peace and privacy, while its south-facing orientation fills the interiors with natural light throughout the day.

Spanning four levels and complemented by an approximately 80 sqm landscaped garden with no overlooking neighbors, it combines the comfort of a family home with the creative spirit that defines Paris’s Left Bank.

Reimagined by architects Florence Tajan and Nicolas Jandrot, the property stands out for its strong artistic identity and the exceptional quality of its materials.

From the moment you enter, paesine stone—natural stone whose patterns evoke dreamlike landscapes—sets the tone for a home conceived as a true work of art.

The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, a living room with fireplace opening generously onto the garden, a kitchen, and a studio that can also serve as a home office or additional bedroom.

The staircase, the architectural backbone of the house, is enhanced by two monumental frescoes created by the artist Galatée Martin as a tribute to Henri Matisse.

The main living areas benefit from underfloor heating, ensuring optimal comfort throughout the seasons.

The upper floors accommodate three air-conditioned bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom.

All enjoy abundant natural light and a serene atmosphere overlooking the garden.

The fully fitted lower ground floor features a spacious living area, a games room, an additional bedroom with en-suite bathroom and independent access, a laundry room, a pantry, and a wine cellar of more than 12 sqm.

Numerous bespoke details reflect the meticulous care devoted to the renovation, including Série Rare door handles, premium fittings and fixtures such as THG taps, and an elegant onyx desk in one of the bedrooms.

The property also boasts a remarkable history.

Its former owner, photographer Marc Vaux, welcomed some of the most influential artists of his era here, including Henri Matisse and Jean Dubuffet.

This artistic legacy continues to resonate throughout the home today.

Rare for its independence, private garden without overlooking neighbors, exceptional natural light, discreet setting at the end of a private lane, and distinctive character, this property is a true artist’s house in the heart of Paris’s 6th arrondissement.
