Location
In the 18th century, the village of Passy was a triangle formed by three streets: Grande Rue (now called Rue de Passy), Rue Basse (now called Rue Raynouard) and Rue de l’Église (now called Rue de l’Annonciation). This village was made up of vast plots of splendid parkland and majestic mansions. Today, Passy is one of the most highly sought-after districts of western Paris. It is known for its chic boutiques, theatre, cinema, covered market and famous delicatessen: La Grande Épicerie, which belongs to the same group of shops as the prestigious Parisian department store Le Bon Marché. The district is home to embassies and high-quality schools, so it is an especially prized area. From here, you can easily reach the main roads that lead out of the French capital. And public transport links are very close too, with a metro stop and a regional rail station nearby.
Description
Our opinion
This delightful property is a unique gem, set in a prestigious district of Paris. Here, celebrities rub shoulders with famous families. The fine edifice blends harmoniously into its urban environment, made up of other splendid townhouses. The dwelling is especially elegant. The owner of the haute couture house Philippe & Gaston ordered construction of the home. In the interwar years, the reputation of Philippe & Gaston was like that of Chanel or Lanvin today. Straight lines and subtle minimalism combine to create a fluid, neatly designed whole, nestled in a lush backdrop. Yet what really makes this property rare and precious is its prime location. It is tucked away in the heart of the French capital’s 16th arrondissement, near renowned schools, excellent museums and luxury boutiques. Indeed, this home brings together all the criteria needed for a pleasant family life. In his memoirs, the son of today’s owner of this property wrote, “There was much love and tenderness inside that white house on Rue Singer”.
