I’ll never forget how we found this apartment. I was sitting at the Atlanta airport, waiting to board a plane to Maine for a little summer respite when we first spotted the real estate listing: There was barely a description, no mention of the view, a picture of the outside of the building and just a few terrible pictures of the inside … but we knew: That view! We recognized the building, knew that it had to be on the 6th floor, acknowledged that this was one in a million and called our client to tell her. By the time the plane landed in Portland, Maine, I looked at my phone and there was the confirmation: The apartment was hers!
The renovation took longer than usual, because of Covid, and it was a long-distance challenge, because of Covid. But the end result made it all worthwhile. This little jewel sparkles with light, gleams from its 6th floor perch and seduces everyone who sees it. Although petite, it thinks big because of the way it meanders and surprises at every turn. We were lucky: A happy accident (that we hoped would happen) opened up a wall to a previously banned window, so that added one more opening on to the most iconic view in Paris. And now from every corner of the apartment, from the kitchen to the bedroom, you just have to turn your head gently and you get … that view!
Sit back, relax and enjoy these photos by renowned photographer @georgiannalane. And for more information about this apartment, and others like it, contact our friends @parisperfectrentals.

I am absolutely in love with this gem of an apartment! The decor is stunning – I particularly favor the navy dining chairs, the artwork, and the framed (Hermes?) scarf in the living room. And the views!! I have been a client of Paris Perfect rentals since 2014 and we have loved every moment there, and are now on a waiting list for a fractional ownership opportunity like this one. Coincidentally, in poking around digitally on their Instagram I came across a photo of Paris in bloom that was so lovely that I immediately ordered the book and it came yesterday. The photographer is @georgiannalane who also took your photos above! Thanks for sharing these photos and I am also enjoying the videos of your transformations of the other Paris apartments as well. You are so talented!
