18th-century apartment in the heart of the city

Behind the Vauban ramparts of the magnificent town of Bergues, in the style of the Parisian townhouses of the Marais district, this magnificent independent ground-floor apartment unfolds 196 square meters of history with extraordinary details.

This exceptional renovation, carried out by the finest craftsmen and journeymen over more than 15 years, offers a majestic result, restoring all the splendor of this building from the second half of the 18th century.

Upon arrival, the façade, renovated by H. Chevalier, a demanding craftsman who participated in the restoration of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, commands respect. The few steps leading to the entrance of the Hôtel de Hau de Staplande (listed as a historical building) open onto the monumental 40-square-meter entrance hall with its marble fireplace.

Inside, the decoration highlights the Neo-Rococo style of the Ancien Régime.
Behind the tall, majestic doors, the 80-square-meter double salon invites entertaining and sharing. Each room boasts a unique character and style, inviting you to step back in time: the study inspired by the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles, the bathroom with its shower carved from solid sandstone, and the kitchen with its fine materials make this a timeless haven, a refuge from the hustle and bustle of modern life. The bedroom and its adjoining sitting room offer an intimate 36sqm cocoon, perfect for reading and daydreaming before drifting off to sleep in the alcove that shelters the bed.

The exceptional marble fireplaces, the materials, the textures, the plasterwork, the moldings, the herringbone and ladder parquet floors, the gilding, the cremone bolts, etc.–absolutely EVERYTHING is superb and in impeccable condition.

The only anachronistic touches are the electrical and plumbing systems, which have been completely renovated, resulting in very low energy consumption.

Located a 5-minute walk from the train station, its central location offers easy TGV connections to London (2 hours), Brussels (1 hour 10 minutes), Lille (1 hour), and Paris (2 hours).

Close to all shops and amenities, this superb apartment puts everything within easy reach without needing a car.

Fancy some fresh air? The Bergues golf course is just 5 minutes away, and the sandy beaches of Malo are only 10 minutes away.

An attic, a bicycle shed, and a private, secure parking space complete the apartment.

A perfect home for those who appreciate beautiful things and history.
