The 7th arrondissement was the most elegant residential district of Paris during the 18th century. In 1889, the Eiffel Tower was constructed there, reinforcing the neighborhood’s identity as chic and quintessentially Parisian. Home to many foreign embassies as well as the Invalides, Musée d’Orsay, and Musée Rodin, this section of the Left Bank is a mix of Frances’ diplomatic, architectural, and military achievements. Despite its many attractions, this neighborhood of wide tree-lined boulevards and impressive esplanades creates a feeling of tranquility and spaciousness. Midway between the Seine and the boulevard Saint-Germain is L’Enclave, a renovated 17th-century carriage house that once housed the horses and carriages of a wealthy Parisian family. L’Enclave offers a delightful combination of location and luxury; this elegant property is furnished with the finest antiques, china, fabrics, and amenities. Enter the courtyard through massive double doors opening onto a wonderful, tranquil setting. Across the courtyard is a lovely stand-alone building with a large, arched window. On the entry level there is a bedroom suite with en suite marble bathroom. Upstairs is a grand living room with a vaulted ceiling. An archway leads to the library, with a 17th-century working fireplace and large skylight overhead. At either end of the salon there are hallways leading to the remaining two bedrooms. One has a vaulted beamed ceiling with a skylight, making it possible to lie in bed and watch the stars, and its own en suite bathroom with a large tub, skylight, and built-in washer/dryer. The third bedroom has a beautiful 17th-century fireplace, and bathroom with a double sink, large tub, and separate stall shower. In the center of these two hallways is the fabulous kitchen, with a vaulted ceiling and two skylights. French doors lead to a small walled terrace. L'Enclave is a warm, lovely family home, located in one of Paris’s most delightful neighborhoods.
