Brigitte Bardot’s 1960s Paris Apartment Comes to Market for €7,900,000
Spanning more than 400 m² in a historic Art Deco building, the residence occupies a scale more commonly associated with private hôtels particuliers than standard Paris apartments.
The Paris apartment occupied by Brigitte Bardot and her husband Gunter Sachs between 1966 and 1969 is now on the market for €7,900,000 (≈ $9.38M), listed with HomeHunts.
The residence sits within a secure historic Art Deco building in Paris’s 16th arrondissement, close to the Bois de Boulogne and the headquarters of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
The apartment spans approximately 409 m² (≈ 4,402 sq ft), including a 52 m² (≈ 560 sq ft) winter garden. The layout comprises ten principal reception rooms and four bedrooms.
Spanning more than 400 m² in a historic Art Deco building, the residence occupies a scale more commonly associated with private hôtels particuliers than standard Paris apartments.
A double-height dining room anchors the entertaining spaces, accompanied by a mahogany bar and a monumental mirror sourced from the ocean liner France. Onyx, travertine and marble flooring are preserved throughout, alongside Tiffany stained-glass windows and museum-quality decorative elements integrated into the interiors.
Amenities include a private gym, wine cellar and home cinema. Renovated in 2018, the property was updated with bespoke furnishings and a redesigned winter garden while retaining its architectural character.
The private quarters comprise a master suite, two children’s bedrooms and an independent guest bedroom. Two staff bedrooms on the sixth floor and a cellar accompany the main residence.
The apartment has been linked to members of the historic Beauharnais family, the French noble lineage connected to Empress Joséphine, and later to Gunter Sachs, the German industrial heir and photographer. Bardot occupied the residence during her marriage to Sachs in the late 1960s.
By the mid-1960s, Bardot was already an established international figure, having moved beyond her early breakout following And God Created Woman. This 16th arrondissement apartment corresponds to her late-1960s years, when Paris remained her professional anchor, while La Madrague in Saint-Tropez, purchased in 1958, increasingly served as her private refuge.
Within the western 16th arrondissement, long linked to embassies, institutional headquarters and grand private residences, the formality and proportions of the apartment sit comfortably within the district’s architectural character. Its late-1960s connection to Bardot and Sachs situates it within a defined cultural chapter, while the reception volumes and preserved materials reflect the district’s longstanding preference for formal, enduring interiors.
