This delightful Paris Apartment Vacation two room apartment is located near the Louvre, just off Rue du Louvre and Rue Etienne Marcel. It has recently received a major face lift including new painting and curtain replacement.

This unique historical apartment was part of the home of the Countess DuBarry who was the mistress of Louis XV. In fact we are told that she was dragged from this building during the revolution (when she was in her 70’s) and taken to the Guillotine.  That was her punishment for having had a relationship with the father of Louis XVI. We were fortunate enough to find a portrait of the young Countess when we visited the Chateau Du Pray in the Loire Valley. We photographed that painting and have an 8 x 10 of the Countess in the apartment now.

We of course do not occupy the entire building as the countess did, but have the part that was her living room, where she received the elite of France. Today that room is divided into two rooms + a small galley type kitchen and a bathroom with step in shower.  If only the walls could talk
