An apartment in Paris’s 7th arrondissement with a view of the Eiffel Tower and a 120sqm rooftop
This rare apartment in Paris's 7th arrondissement on Rue Saint-Dominique features a 120sqm rooftop terrace and a view of the Eiffel Tower
This apartment in Paris’s 7th arrondissement is located on the highly sought-after Rue Saint-Dominique. From its 120sqm rooftop, you have a magical view of the Eiffel Tower. Here, you’re in something of the quintessential Parisian apartment, with an address that’s the stuff of dreams.
This street alone embodies the very best of the capital. It features Haussmann-style buildings, charming small shops, and a relative calm despite its proximity to the Champ de Mars. And at the end of the street, the Eiffel Tower stands there, like a beacon in the city.
From the rooftop terrace, it stands almost within reach. Massive, just a few hundred meters away, you can admire its arches with the naked eye. You could almost count its bolts. It’s also visible from inside, whether you’re in the open living area or the bedroom. What a privileged spot for a lover of Paris!
The living area of this apartment in Paris’s 7th arrondissement is surprisingly spacious. Living spaces in the city are generally quite small, especially for a one-bedroom apartment of this type. But here, that is not the case. With its light oak hardwood floors, high ceilings, and dual exposure that lets light in from all sides, the living room is a true reception area. This spacious room is divided into three distinct zones: a living area with panoramic windows, a dining area right next to it, and a kitchen with a bar on the left side.
The bar separates the kitchen from the living room and features five stools for seating. The kitchen itself is classic and well-equipped, with wood cabinetry, a large American-style refrigerator, and two built-in ovens. Its countertop is black granite and its backsplash is brushed stainless steel. A choice that may not be very original, but one that fits the apartment’s style perfectly. The skylights in the ceiling provide welcome overhead light in Paris.
Upon entering the living room, the first thing you see is the anthracite gray velvet sofa occupying the center of the room. With its rounded shapes, it invites you to settle in comfortably and enjoy the view. Surrounding it are two vintage armchairs with turquoise seats and off-white backs, in the style of Maison Sarah Lavoine. This petrol blue contrasts harmoniously with the gray of the sofa, creating a contemporary look. The mirrored coffee table and the black-and-white graphic rug, featuring repeated geometric patterns, complete this balanced ensemble.
On the walls, a large figurative painting, an expressive portrait in bright red and pink on a white background, is hung slightly off-center. On an adjacent wall, a taxidermied bird of prey stands guard. It’s a polarizing piece, in the style of a cabinet of curiosities: you either love it or hate it. I’ll let you guess our opinion, it’s unexpected, but this way of celebrating death is truly the detail that would make us run away... Too bad. Of course, some will find it magnificent, others less so, we hope it’s just a well-crafted sculpture, not an authentic stuffed animal. Let’s just say it’s something original that makes you remember the place...
The dining table is a single piece of solid wood, untreated, with black metal legs. It easily seats six or eight people. A gray metal arc pendant light, with an oversized cylindrical shade, hangs directly above it to provide the best possible lighting. The wooden chairs, with their classic Scandinavian lines, are timeless and blend effortlessly with the table’s design.
At the back of the room, the two modular bookshelves made of natural wood are perfectly suited to this spot. They hold books, objects, framed photographs, and plants. They reveal a lot about the occupant’s personality. Here, you discovers a collection of framed botanical and entomological plates, ceramics, and art books. Next to it, a desk sits discreetly, blending seamlessly into the space. This is a classic layout in city apartments, where working from home is now a necessity.
The master bedroom is clad in wood. Its custom headboard is made of cherry wood panels, built from floor to ceiling. Everything is designed to take up minimal space while offering maximum storage, with built-in wardrobes and integrated nightstands. The room is classically chic, reminiscent of a Parisian hotel room, elegant, serene, and well-appointed.
The adjoining bathroom is also spacious. With a timeless style featuring sand-colored porcelain tile from floor to ceiling, two wall-mounted sinks, weathered wood furniture, and a walk-in shower, it is bright thanks to the skylight that illuminates it.
And here is the highlight of the show: the 120sqm rooftop terrace, covered in wooden slats, with planters filled with numerous shrubs and flowers. A stainless-steel outdoor kitchen with a built-in refrigerator and cooktop faces the Eiffel Tower. A round teak table and sage-green Houe chairs allow you to dine while gazing at the Iron Lady. The lounge area covered by a bioclimatic pergola lets you spend many hours outdoors in comfort.
The pergola overlooks the second floor of the tower. In the evening, when it lights up, this terrace becomes a true gem. From any corner of the terrace, the panorama sweeps across all of Paris. You can make out the Trocadéro, the dome of Les Invalides, the Seine, and so many other monuments that make up the beauty of Paris.
While the location of this apartment in Paris’s 7th arrondissement is exceptional, its decor is quite classic. There’s no sense of luxury anywhere, just modernity. The materials used are high-quality, this is certainly a deliberate choice by the owners, to avoid flashiness and instead embrace a “bourgeois” style in the positive sense of the word.
Our only regret is undoubtedly the presence of the owl, which appears to be stuffed (we can’t help but feel a little sad for Harry Potter’s lovely Hedwig…), but after all, this isn’t where we live, and all tastes are respectable, even if they aren’t our own. In any case, this kind of “decorative piece” shows just how much this apartment isn’t there just to please everyone, but above all to please those who live there.
It doesn’t get any more Parisian than this apartment on Rue Saint-Dominique. In this residential neighborhood, time seems to have stood still in another era, when life was sweeter, even in the big city. It’s hard to find a better location to live, and let’s not even mention the rooftop, which is absolutely exceptional, both in terms of its size and its views.
