An Intricate Luxury Apartment in the City of Lights

Paris is a place where beauty and style are valued above perhaps all else. That means that when we able to look inside of a Parisian apartment through the eyes of someone like photographer Mathieu Fiol we certainly take notice. This apartment in the City of Lights may not have the quirky charm of Amelie or the rustic appeal of the countryside, but its luxury furnishings and breathtaking crown molding is inspirational to say the least. Regardless of your feelings for the French joie de vivre, we

The main living area is a mish mash of styles, with large sleek leather sofas standing in sharp contrast to the classical crown molding, which itself supports the ultra modern gilded light fixture. A fireplace takes the spot of a television, allowing for an evening of classic French conversation on literature, wine, and probably adultery.

A cozy entrance way and reading area is dominated by an amazing mural called Saint Germain des Pres. The cityscape makes for a romantic addition to the interior and easy transition from outside to inside.

The open floor plan of the living area allows dinner conversation to easily migrate between the two spaces while the addition of geometric-inspired area rugs still keep the rooms feeling separate.

The plus bedrooms are incredible, using deep jewel tones of emerald and sapphire to create their own little jewelry box atmosphere while tall windows offer a glimpse of the great world city outside.

Finally, luxurious bathrooms include their own private artwork, deep rectangular soaking tub and a truly tropical privacy screen protecting bathing beauties from prying eyes.
