2024 - Stéphane Bern: discover the incredible properties from which they are definitively parting

Stéphane Bern is preparing to leave the Paris region. Indeed, the facilitator goes to live in the Perche. But before leaving, he plans to sell part of his Parisian furniture at an auction scheduled for January 25. And some parts for sale are clearly worth a look!

Goodbye Paris! Stephane Bern is preparing to leave the capital to settle permanently in the Perche. The host, who is tired of Parisian life, will put his luggage in the former royal and military college of Thiron-Gardais (Eure-et-Loir) which he has acquired and is gradually restoring. But to pay for all the work, he needs cash. This is how he decided to sell a large part of its Parisian furniture, during an auction to be held on January 25 at the Hotel Drouot.

In an interview with Le Figaro on December 10, Stéphane Bern had indicated that he was leaving the Hotel Rousseau, where he had lived for eighteen years, “without nostalgia”, “to write a new chapter of (s) a lifetime”. “I abandon a place steeped in history and, in the same spirit, I felt that it was also necessary to separate from the objects and furniture that had constituted my universe for almost two decades. They all have their history and will delight art lovers as much as they have pleasantly accompanied me “, he added.

A painting estimated at more than 15,000 euros

Among the furniture and objects on sale, we find in particular a table painted by the studio of Martin Van Mytens and representing Elisabeth-Christine of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, the grandmother of Queen Marie-Antoinette. An esteemed work between 15,000 and 20,000 euros. The history buff also separates from a original chandelier signed by designer Hervé van der Straeten, which friends had given him for his 50th birthday, and which costs between 12,000 and 15,000 euros. During the sale, we will also find a pair of Hubert Le Gall daisy tables, estimated at 10,000 – 12,000 euros. In all, nearly 150 lots are on sale.

Thanks to the money recovered, Stéphane Bern hopes to be able to undertake many projects, which require a substantial amount of money. “I decided to continue in my village of Perche the costly restoration work that I undertook, by creating a new entrance for the Royal Military College museum, by fitting out a temporary exhibition room or by rehabilitating an old dovecote in the 16th century which was part of the abbey of Thiron “, detailed the journalist.
