Un appartement inoccupé depuis 1942 a été découvert à Paris
du côté de Pigalle, un appartement parisien a été réouvert pour la première fois… après 70 ans. Capsule temporelle vers le passé, cet écrin hermétique appartenait à Madame de Florian qui l’avait quitté précipitamment pour aller se réfugier dans le sud alors que les troupes d’Adolf Hitler avançaient sur Paris. Et jamais elle ne revint.
A Paris Apartment that was left untouched for more than 70 years…has been finally unlocked and it’s treasures revealed….come and take a peek.
Madame Marthe de Florian. was a little-known actress and demimondaine (courtesan) who had a collection of lovers, who were well known identities of the day – including: “Georges Clemenceau, Pierre Waldeck-Rousseau, Paul Deschanel, Gaston Doumergue , and the esteemed Italian artist Giovanni Boldini.” It is the last on this list, artist Giovanni Boldini, who plays the most important part in this interesting story.
Though this story begins with Madame Marthe de Florian it continues on even after she passed away in 1939. When she died, her Paris apartment was inherited by her granddaughter, Solange Beaugiron. She resided in the apartment until the outbreak of World War 2, at which time she sealed it tight and fled to the south of France. No one knows why she never returned, but she left the apartment untouched and the rent was automatically paid (by her appointed lawyers) until her death in 2010. It was then when people were sent in to inventory the apartment that the amazing time-capsule was opened.
