When Ashley Maddox moved from the US to Paris in 2010 with her two young children, Eloise and Daphne, it was only for six months. ‘I kept on meaning to move back to California, but 10 years on we’re still here,’ says the property developer and interior designer. ‘I simply fell in love with the city’s bustling mode de vie. During that time, the Los Angeles native had a third child, Hugo, and more recently became the proud owner of an apartment in the oh-so chic neighbourhood of Saint Germain.

‘I went to see it and made an offer that very afternoon,’ Ashley says. ‘It’s rare for apartments of this quality in such a sought-after location to come onto the market.’ By all accounts the étage noble (first floor) abode was quite the find, positioned as it is in a 1740 building surrounded by the fabric houses and boutique galleries of Rue Jacob, with some of the original architraves and oak parquetry flooring still intact. Having previously restored a number of apartments in Paris, Ashley relished the opportunity to renovate her own, collaborating with GCG Architectes to complete the task.
