For rent
Location à Paris de l'appartement "Rue Guersant" pour 2 personnes
Humble grandeur
Rue Guersant is an apartment au courant, from the hall's grey table to its untamed, wire light feature. But this is a home whose high modernity is whimsically tempered with the indulgent trappings of the Old World. Beside autumnal-hued modern art, admire the antique dresser and oval mirror in its ornate gold frame, then follow the hall’s crisp, white walls to the warmly eclectic sitting room where upholstered armchairs mix with Moroccan stools. Discern your tastes at the vintage writing desk, or take a bell jar lantern to your twilit balcony and listen to the whir of the busy streets below.
Essential excesses
Parisian to her bones, your host loves the quiet pleasure of rediscovering her familiar city on foot or by Velib’. But when not indulging in a relaxing round of golf, she takes equal pleasure travelling to the buzzing streets of New York.
Reserved Rococo
The kitchen is clean-cut and contemporary, with brushed-steel surfaces and a red feature wall. Abstract modern art draws on the same warm palette in the sitting room, where it sits alongside the florid excesses of antique furnishings, carved bookshelves and the ticking hands of a cream and gold clock. In the bedroom you’ve cheerful purple shelves holding a string of characterful prints, and outside your location’s just as storied – opt for the Marché Bayen, or stroll to the cosmopolitan Champs-Elysées in the historical shadow of the Arc de Triomphe.
