Paris VIII - Facing the Palais de l'Elysée

Avenue de Marigny, facing the Elysee Palace. This exceptional apartment occupying the top two floors of a luxurious recently refaced Directoire-style building offers 219 sqm of floor space and 208 sqm of reversible air-conditioned living space. Renovated throughout by an interior decorator in a pure 18th century style, it includes three living/reception rooms, a kitchen with dining facilities, three suites with bathrooms, dressing rooms and wc, a guest wc and a utility room. Bathed in sunshine, the apartment benefits from a 9 sqm continuous balcony commanding a panoramic view of the Elysee Palace, Grand Palais and the Hôtel de Marigny. With an 11 sqm cellar. The Elysee authorises access a parking space in a side street off the avenue. Due to its location so close to the Presidential residence, the environment is particularly secure. Avenue de Marigny gets its name from the Marquis de Marigny, brother of King Louis XV's influential mistress Madame de Pompadour, who in 1720 acquired the Hotel d’Evreux, today known across the globe as the Elysee Palace. The Marquis directed construction of Place de la Concorde, as well as the planting of the Champs-Élysées Gardens. Built for Baron Alfred de Rothschild en 1873, the Hôtel de Marigny, located at number 23, is today used to accommodate guests to the Elysee. His successors James and Elie de Rothschild acquired number 25 avenue de Marigny in 1955, and the top-floor duplex apartment was Fiat boss Giovanni Agnelli’s Parisian pied a terre during the last decade of the 20th century.
