Elegant Duplex with Historic Charm in Paris 5ème

Located in the heart of the Val-de-Grâce district in Paris's 5th arrondissement, within the former Carmel of the Incarnation—the first Carmelite monastery in France, founded in 1604—this exceptional 127 sqm duplex apartment features a room listed as a Historic Monument. The ground floor comprises an entrance hall with built-in storage, while the main living areas are distributed across the upper levels. On the first floor, a landing leads to a kitchen, a dining room, and a guest WC. A bedroom with its own dressing room and en-suite shower room completes this level. The true soul of the property lies in its extraordinary living room: the former oratory, distinguished by its 17th-century barrel-vaulted ceiling and original frescoes, all protected as part of France's historic heritage. This remarkable space has undergone an exceptional restoration, enhanced by rare marbles and noble stonework crafted by master marble artisan François Selle. The second floor offers two additional bedrooms, a bathroom, and a separate WC. A cellar and an indoor parking space complete the property. Steeped in a rich history associated with Madame Acarie and Louise de La Vallière, this unique residence harmoniously combines art, spirituality, and architecture. Located close to the Panthéon, Port-Royal, the Paris Observatory, and the Luxembourg Gardens, it enjoys a prestigious setting within one of Paris's most historically and intellectually significant neighborhoods. This property represents a rare and meaningful long-term heritage investment. Acquiring it means becoming the custodian of a remarkable legacy that has endured for more than four centuries.
