Most parts of this incredible home in Paris are picture-perfect!
Luxembourg Guynemer
In the same area is this equally-opulent three-bedroom Luxembourg Guynemer rental that looks like a mix of a modern apartment in Paris and the Palaces of Versailles.

Odeon Suite
How do you feel about the trompe l'oeil technique in interior design? If you don't mind a bit of illusion in your apartment in Paris, then you certainly won't have any problem picking this rouge-toned Odeon Suite that's also in the Saint Germain des Prés district. Its stark color scheme and relative opulence stem from its trompe l'oeil wallpaper, which makes the walls look like they're all made up of book-filled shelves.

books' displayed but surely they can appreciate the beautiful decor instead!

This four-bedroom Opera IV luxury apartment in Paris, France has a romantic look to it that's oh so dreamy! From the beautifully crafted moldings on the walls and doors to the pale cream color scheme, doesn't this place look like the perfect setting for a
classic French novel? You can easily imagine Marguerite Gauthier from '
La Dame aux Camélias' entertaining her guests here. Or for Marquise Isabelle de Merteuil from '
Les Liaisons Dangereuses' to concoct her many schemes. And let's not forget that this area is
near the Louvre, arguably the most famous museum in the world! That alone makes this luxury home more covetable!
Marot Three-Bedroom
Nothing says '
opulence' quite like a panther coffee table. And when it's set against a grand fireplace topped by a gilded mirror? You know it's modern maximalism at its finest. And that's what you'll find in this gorgeous three-bedroom Marot luxury apartment for rent in Paris, France. Though you may argue that such a style is either passé or tacky, there's no denying that it makes for quite the conversation starter! Any person you'll invite to this incredible home in the
Champs Elysées would undoubtedly want to talk about its fascinating decor. And while you may not have picked anything out yourself, you can still gush about the place's opulence together!
Alma I
You'd be hard-pressed to find a more opulent apartment in Paris than this glorious one-bedroom Alma I luxury home in the Champs Elysées! There's so much to unpack here that you don't know where to start! Do you focus on all the antiques on sight, especially that curious Regency-era portrait that looks straight out of a Jane Austen novel? Or do you fixate on the eye-catching oriental rug on the floor, topped by a gilded glass coffee table? You also can't take your eyes off the plush quilted armchair with gilded details, can't you? It's certainly a scene-stealer of a piece against in what's already such a maximalist room!
Quai d'Orsay
Tiger print chairs, a red oriental rug on the floor, and a few pieces of Baroque furniture. These are what makes this three-bedroom Quai d'Orsay apartment in Paris for rent so opulent. While it may not look as heavily decorated as all the other luxury homes on this list, it's pretty maximalist in its own right. Some would even call the clash of prints and patterns tacky, especially since modern tastes dictate that well-proportioned minimalism is the way to go these days. Still, there's nothing wrong with adding a few strong visuals here and there!
