This project is the story of a meeting.
A professional encounter born from a shared passion for interior design between two talented women, Véronique Padovani and Catherine Lefret.
A meeting that blossomed into a true friendship. A coincidence—or perhaps providence?—brought these two decorators together. Both are independent: while one leans more toward decoration, the other favors architecture.
Véronique speaks the language of color, fabrics, shadow, and light. Catherine speaks the language of structure, space, and the foundational lines of a living place. Together, surrounded by a remarkable and cohesive team, these lovers of elegance have combined their expertise and passion to breathe soul into this beautiful private mansion—one that feels both of its time and deeply respectful of the centuries it has lived through.
This book is a testimony to ten months of excitement and joy—a thank-you for the trust the owners placed in the two designers. These stunning photographs overflow with emotion, memories hidden in details, smiles of the past and those yet to come—and above all, the undeniable pleasure that filled every step of this wonderful journey.
