According to our friend the Real Estalker and The Wall Street Journal, Fashion designer Christian Lacroix is selling his Paris apartment for €2 million (about $2.6 million).
The roughly 2,150-square-foot apartment is in the chic Marais district.
The house, in a late-17th-century building near the historic Place des Vosges and the Picasso Museum, has an upper floor with public rooms designed around an interior patio of roughly 200 square feet, and a lower floor with four bedrooms.
There’s also a mezzanine library. The ceilings are 13 feet high and the apartment has many classic original details, including gilded moldings in the master bedrooms and French doors. The bathrooms and kitchen have been renovated.
Monsieur Lacroix reportedly purchased and moved to another apartment nearby.
Hey. Recently stayed at a particularly interesting Paris short-term rental luxury apartment rented directly by a family of artists. It’s right in Saint-Germain des Pres in the 6th arrondissement equally distanced from Cafe Fore and Bon Marche. They’re real nice people and the place is perfect for those who like Saint-Germain. It’s got something like 10 bus lines on the block so you can get anywhere from there and the area is full of great restaurants and shopping.

It’s a particular good time because they are renovating at the end of the year and renting the whole house pretty cheap relatively. Check it out.
