Less than ten minutes from the shops, cinemas, and restaurants of the Champs Elysees and served by metro station George V, this luxuriously large apartment is bathed in light and offers two charming and inviting flower-filled garden terraces, perfect for al fresco dining among clinging vines above the rooftops of Paris. Centrality is essential: supermarket, wine shop, and bakery are all just around the corner, and the glory here—the ultimate luxury—is the proximity (just a few minutes’ walk) to the utterly charming, historic Parc Monceau, a Romantic garden of floral peace and beauty, an island of green peace inside the bustle of Paris.

The apartment is in Paris’ chic 8th arrondissement up above the city on the 6th and 7th floors, and with only two tenants per floor, at opposite ends of a long hall, guests are assured of total privacy. The two bedrooms plus a den with sofa-bed, living room and dining room, exquisite entry and contemporary kitchen are decorated with the owner’s collection of Latin American, Middle Eastern, and Southeast Asian artworks and antiques. But the apartment’s grandest works of art is perhaps the Eiffel Tower, which stands across the Seine in astonishing, unobstructed view greeting you when you open your eyes and sparkling in lights before you as you go to sleep.
