✨ The Loft: A Living Work of Art

Welcome to a 180 m² haven, luminous and sculpted by the raw charm of an old industrial building and the artistic finesse of its owner, Yseult, an internationally renowned visual artist. This place is not just a dwelling: it’s an immersion into art, design, history… and emotion.

🖼️ A Living Gallery Inhabited
The loft belongs to Yseult D., who has exhibited at FIAC, the Venice Biennale, and at the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris. Her original works, with vibrant textures and abstract silhouettes, are present everywhere, like fragments of soul suspended on the walls. The loft thus becomes a private museum, where you are the only guest.

🍷 The Iconic Table from the "Île-de-France" Liner
At the center of the space, an immense oval table made of precious wood from another era: it has traversed oceans aboard the legendary ocean liner Île-de-France 🛳️, a flagship of French art de vivre in the 1930s. A testament to a bygone refinement, it now hosts your dinners, your thoughts, your projects, just as it once did for diplomats and artists on transatlantic journeys.
