The highly publicized Paris pied-à-terre where Lee Radziwill – the younger sister of the late Jacqueline Kennedy – once lived is for sale. Located on the sixth floor of a building dating back to 1890, the 1,625-square-foot apartment includes four bedrooms, a double reception, a balcony, two bathrooms and a cellar… all designed by Lee herself. The 8th-arrondissement residence overlooks Avenue Montaigne with a view of the Eiffel Tower and is available for €3.43 million (or about $4 million). Let’s take a look at the listing along with previously published images from T Magazine…

Page Six reports that Lee is selling the apartment because “she doesn’t spend enough time there anymore, and she prefers to stay at the Plaza Athénée.” I have a feeling this fabulous apartment will sell tout de suite! To learn more about Lee Radziwill – American socialite, princess, public relations executive, interior decorator, former actress, and one of the greatest style icons in history – I highly recommend the books Lee and Happy Times.
