Attention all Francophiles and vintage fashion whores, your dream apartment has been discovered. Much like Nicole Kidman’s vagina, the apartment of Madame de Florian (a French socialite and actress) has been sealed since 1942. It sat unmolested until now, and has since been opened to discover that everything has remained exactly the same for the past 72 years.
Madame de Florian (unlike Nicole Kidman’s vagina) was unfortunately mortal, and only managed to pay her rent up until her death. In perhaps the best story of renter’s responsibility ever, she fled the apartment in World War II, but kept paying the rent until she passed away in 2010 at 91 years old (insert Nicole Kidman’s vagina joke). So basically, there is an apartment full of amazing vintage treasures including a painting of Madame de Florian (worth millions) that has just has just been chilling in Paris for almost a decade. Musty undergarments aside, taking a look into that apartment must be like walking right into an old movie. Unfortunately the space isn’t open to the public, but the good news is that these photos were released to satisfy our curiosity. Viva Madame de Florian!
