A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a 'castle in the heart of Paris,' situated in the prestigious 1st arrondissement on rue du Beaujolais, right next to the historic Le Grand Véfour, a restaurant once frequented by Napoleon and Josephine.
Originally built in the 17th century as a royal residence for Cardinal Richelieu, the Palais Royale later became the childhood home of King Louis XIV.
During the French Revolution, it was a gathering spot for intellectuals, and revolutionary ideas were often discussed here.
The Palais Royal area remains one of Paris’ most sought-after locations, with iconic landmarks such as the Louvre Museum, Tuileries Garden, and Place Vendôme just steps away.
One of the most beautiful and tranquil green spaces in Paris, the gardens of the Palais Royal are surrounded by arcades and elegant buildings which house high-end boutiques, art galleries, and restaurants, making it a fashionable spot for both locals and tourists.
This remarkable residence offers the grandeur of a private mansion (hôtel particulier) with 7,000 square feet of living space. It awaits restoration to its full splendor, featuring nearly 13-foot-high ceilings on the grand noble floor and a double wrought-iron staircase designed by the renowned Swiss sculptor Diego Giacometti.
The home is flooded with natural light, thanks to a south-facing exposure, offering breathtaking views from the gardens of the Palais Royal to the Louvre, with no overlooking neighbors, and a coveted interior patio on the fourth floor.
Notably, this address has deep ties to cultural history, once home to the Hôtel Beaujolais, a favorite of artistic and literary figures such as Jean Cocteau and Christian Bérard during the Second World War.
Cocteau himself was hosted at the nearby Ritz by Coco Chanel, before joining Bérard at this very residence in December 1939, during a time of artistic refuge.
