Two Adjoining Royal Palace Apartments for Sale in the Heart of Aix-Les-Bains, the Riviera of the Alps.

Property Description

The two adjacent garden level apartments were created in the Royal Palace ballroom divided into 2 floors and retaining the original floor to ceiling marble pillars and elegant plaster mouldings. With a large private garden terrace and the chance to renovate the pair into a spectacular 176m2 residence

Aix les Bains, the Riviera des Alpes, became the chic centre of European nobility after Queen Victoria, under the pseudonym of the Countess of Balmoral, frequented the spa town on Lac de Bourget in the 1880s to take the cure with Princess Beatrice. The "Royal" Palace, next door to the spa "thermes" was the boutique hotel of its day and home to visiting nobility during the Belle Epoque. Queen Victoria only bought some land and bizarrely a donkey, which was shipped back to London, but here is the opportunity to acquire a stylish historical home, a slice of real history and with no donkey purchase required.

A short walk to the health spa and the centre of Aix-les-Bains, the apartments are perfectly positioned in a privileged private setting with formal gardens, secure parking and gated entry.
