The rarely seen private quarters of more than two dozen Paris tastemakers, including Jacques Grange, Vincent Darré, and Muriel Brandolini, are vividly captured in photographer Ricardo Labougle’s new book, Inside Paris (Vendome Press). “I wanted it to be varied and each house unique, reflecting the creative personality of its owner,” says Labougle. Indeed the tome offers a wellspring of inspriation, from a bohemian dreamland overlooking the Moulin Rogue to a 17th-century hôtel particulier with frescoes by Louis de Boullogne, whose work also graces the Palace of Versailles.
