Anyone familiar with this blog will most certainly recognize that we here at A Tyner Antiques are big fans of Paris. The art, the architecture and… pretty much everything else. We’re quite sure the “City of Lights” is the most beautiful city in the world. Of course we’re in good company on that score, which is why the city is the backdrop for countless movies – including everything from Audrey Hepburn’s romp in “How to Steal a Million” to Woody Allen’s wonderful “Midnight in Paris” – books such as Ernest Hemingway’s A Moveable Feast and of course the art of Renoir's Le Moulin de la Galette and Seurat’s “Eiffel Tower”.
But that beauty is not just reserved for Parisians or tourists. Paris is one of the 10 most popular cities in the world for buying a second home… because so many people want to return… so often… and spend more than just a week at time. And who wants to live out of a suitcase when you can have a furnished apartment just waiting for your return? Well this month’s Architectural Digest has a feature on just one such pied-à-terre belonging to designer Timothy Corrigan. In the 8th arrondissement not far from the French president’s residence and the American embassy, the residence is spectacularly appointed and extraordinarily bright and colorful.
And then there’s the Ace of Space blog which just last month had a feature on another apartment in Paris, this one owned by Atlanta’s own Ann Huff of Huff Harrington. She worked with a team to completely redesign the quaint space that has a spectacular view of the nearby Eiffel Tower. And the beauty of Ann’s place is that when it’s not being used… it’s available for rent!
Enjoy…
