Yesterday Lee Radziwill, former princess and sister to the late Jackie Kennedy died of natural causes, as confirmed by her daughter. She was 85. She lived what seemed to be a happy, free-spirited life that was also shrouded by sadness. Like Jackie, she had a soft spot for Paris and once owned a beautiful sixth-floor apartment in an 8th-arrondissement neighborhood facing Avenue Montaigne with views of the Eiffel Tower. Lee put her 1,625 square foot apartment up for sale in Fall 2017 citing that she was no longer spending enough time there. In memory of Lee Radziwill, let’s take a look back at the beautiful Paris apartment she once owned and decorated herself. In a comprehensive article by T Magazine, Lee was quoted as saying that the Paris apartment was her “favorite of any home I’ve ever had”.

What a lovely tribute to someone that led an incredible life!
Hi Gerri,
She had an amazing life, indeed.
I really used to think that she and Jackie didn’t look that much alike. But the pictures in your post I see her looking very much like Jackie.
What a beautiful apartment.

I use to think the same thing, Karen. I started seeing more of a resemblance as she got older.
Lovely images and lovely sentiments. I too was surprised to see how much she actually resembled her sister.
Beautiful pictures, thanks for sharing
