Sometimes, when I’m in need of some motivation, particularly during midterms, I pull up Sotheby’s International Realty and look the outrageously fabulous homes, penthouses, and apartments for sale in all my favorite places. And, with COVID continuing to put a damper on my beloved travels, it’s refreshing to briefly escape to my favorite destinations. This week, I decided to take a tour of the Parisian real estate market. From Rue Saint Honoré to the Champs Elysées, there is no shortage of résidences magnifiques.
Now, take a deep breath, relax, and imagine yourself living in one of these overwhelmingly gorgeous Parisian abodes.
For $10,391,127, this uniquely chic apartment, complete with a media room and terrace, could be yours–that is, unless I beat you to it.
