For rent
Location à Paris de l'appartement "Rue de Penthievre II" pour 2 personnes
Rich and robust
Bright plum, bold red and rich burgundy – Rue de Penthievre II is richly toned, perched above Parc Monceau’s leafy shade. The sitting room is cosily arranged with soft-mauve sofas and upholstered chairs, while the dining table has seating for four, dressed in regal purple. The study is warm and inviting, with shelves of gilt-edged tomes and leather hardbacks, and an antique desk for those with business to attend to. But if your trip is more for pleasure, the iconic avenues of the Champs-Élysées are just a stroll away, while picnicking in elegant Parc Monceau is just as easy to plot.
Distinguished tastes
Your hosts are a cultured pair with a taste for the ornate. They split their time between Paris’ elegant streets and the wooded realms of their country home in La Foret de Sologne.
##Refined palate
Though most of this home’s rooms are opulently decorated – the living area in imperial purple and the study in dark woods and crimson – you’ll find the master bedroom awaits in calming contrast. All soothing grey and striped curtains, a set of charming artworks hangs above the bed’s headboard. And beyond the generous wardrobes, you’ll find the bathroom is just as comforting, with gleaming black tiles and a deep bathtub. You might take a moment to admire the sitting room’s oversize oil painting, or peruse the china collection, but with leafy parks and local eateries to sample you might be easily distracted.
