The Property
The 200m² apartment located in a beautiful Haussmannian building
on Boulevard Saint Germain has a large hallway, large living room,
dining room with lounge and fireplace, two large bedrooms each with
their own bathroom and dressing room and a modern kitchen.
Gérard Faivre believes the entrance of each apartment deserves
particular attention as it is the first room the client experiences, and the
emotion of the first encounter is decisive. To conjure up a bit of magic,
Gérard Faivre unleashed his artistic soul to make its design unique and
spectacular. The idea to instil the internationally coveted atmosphere
of Saint Germain-des-Prés in the apartment’s entrance came naturally
to Gérard Faivre. He shared his idea with the photographer Mathieu
Fiol, who captured the atmosphere and put the area’s iconic sights in
black and white on canvas to bring the walls to life. The result is like an
invitation to sit on the terraces of legendary venues that contribute to
the neighbourhood’s unique charm: Café de Flore, Les Deux Magots
and Brasserie Lipp. Soak up the atmosphere, stroll by luxury boutiques
or read and write like so many famous names of past and present.
The stylish living rooms have a fifties feel with a bourgeois touch. The
interior blends vintage furniture and accessories (rugs by Gio Ponti)
with contemporary fittings and paintings by past masters and modern
sculptures. This combination reflects Gérard Faivre’s vision to create
an apartment that’s as unique as an artwork. Moving from one room
