It's been almost 20 years since I discovered this rare gem in Versailles: a real orangery facing (as it should) due south. After much restoration work (and a complete makeover in 2023), I converted this orangery into two charming apartments for visitors looking for originality and tranquility while being in the heart of an exciting city that I love.
From the street you enter a courtyard, then up the stairs and onto a very lush lawn with the glorious building at the end. Through a shared entrance find the side-by-side apartments, almost identical in layout: the south-facing living areas have two enormous arched windows flooding the space with sunlight; there are many paintings and sculptures (some by the owner Patricia) and books; steep stairs take you to cosy mezzanine bedrooms with TVs and garden views.
The Orangerie consists of two Suites. Each of them, approximately 40 m², includes: Living room, Bathroom, kitchen corner and, upstairs is a bedroom with a tv.
Small kitchens have two induction hobs, a microwave, fridge and kettle, with a few basics in the cupboards. Rustle up lunch and eat at your own table on the lawn or head to some very good restaurants a few minutes away. Fun for two couples to take both apartments and visit Versailles together.
You can easily get here without a car as regular trains run from Paris and take only 12 minutes from Montparnasse station. Feel part of French history in this historic place.
From €190 to €480 per night
From €1330 to €3360 per week
The Area:
A grand avenue leads straight towards the gates of Versailles and there's no traffic noise as the Orangerie is set back from the road. There are some superb restaurants a short walk away, shopping at the local antique shops, the charming passages of the Place du Marche and the Saint-Louis quarter is fascinating to explore with the oldest buildings in town. The train station is five mins on foot for day trips to Paris.
Patricia had a long career with an airline at Orly airport and is a prize-winning sculptor and artist. She bought the Orangerie when it was in ruins and has now restored it, transforming it into the two studios. She is bright, vivacious, elegant and adores having guests. She's always here to meet and greet and speaks French, English, Spanish and Italian.
