Le Petit Elysée Paris, Île-de-France

Holiday Rental Description

Think of the Champs-Élysées, and you'll immediately conjure up an image of classic luxury and opulence. Hold that thought, then multiply it by a hundred – this home is the epitome of 18th-century elegance. First off, your host welcomes you into this sumptuous abode with a chilled bottle of champagne – santé! Take a sip while you look around at Persian rugs, fringed sofas, vintage hardwood cabinets, a record player, and trinkets galore. Gilded frames line the walls, ornate golden candlesticks illuminate the dining table, and of course, Italian marble bathrooms come as standard. If you’re an antique connoisseur, you’ll simply be in awe of the collection here. It feels like living in old-world France in a stately palace, or visiting a gallery. If you’re looking for the real deal, take a five-minute walk to Le Palais de l’Élysée, or fifteen to the Musée du Parfum. Or you can take a break from your antique world, just for an afternoon, and head eight minutes to designer shopping on the Avenue des Champs-Élysées. Pick up something to wear out to a fancy dinner in the neighbourhood. And with the Miromesnil metro two minutes from home, you don’t even need to stay local (although we highly recommend it).
