In a city where nearly every corner tells a story, it’s rare to stumble upon a place that still feels like a well-kept secret but just off the busy Boulevard de Clichy in Montmartre, one such place exists—Villa des Platanes.
From the street, it’s easy to miss. Only the most observant will notice the elegant façade at 58–60 Boulevard de Clichy, a blend of stone, brick, and beautifully curved bow windows. If you look a little closer through the pair of wrought iron gates linger for a few moments and wonder what’s hidden just out of sight.
Villa des Platanes isn’t open to the public, it's reserved for residents and a *select few who know the right people but even from the outside, it offers a glimpse into a more private, poetic side of Paris—one that lives quietly behind closed gates, far from the typical tourist path. Villa des Platanes is the kind of mystery that makes Paris the city that it is - unforgettable.
