French television journalist Caroline Roux, known for hosting major political interviews on France 2, has been living for several years in a luminous and refined apartment on Paris's Right Bank. The elegant sanctuary seamlessly blends vintage finds with contemporary minimalism, creating what she describes as a living space that defies typical interior design catalog aesthetics.
Roux's Haussmannian apartment, where she has resided for about fifteen years, serves as much more than just a Parisian address—it represents a true refuge where she works, entertains close friends, and shares precious moments with her family. The space boasts classic architectural features including Hungarian point parquet flooring, antique fireplaces, and period moldings. The deliberately understated yet personalized decoration creates a warm and timeless setting that Côté Maison magazine described in 2016 as "a living but refined space where one feels incredibly comfortable."
The apartment is enhanced by soaring ceilings, pristine white walls, and large glass doors that allow natural light to flood every room. Through glimpses shared occasionally on social media, Roux reveals a sophisticated blend of contemporary furniture and rare vintage pieces. She has chosen iconic Eames Plastic Chairs to surround a large dark wood table and appears to have a particular fondness for the mushroom-shaped Atollo lamp by Voltex, which appears in several rooms throughout her home.
"I don't like catalog-style decor atmospheres," Roux explained in a 2016 interview with Côté Maison. "I've mixed objects found here and there, which bring touches of history and sometimes humor, with a sober and linear New York-style ambiance: dark parquet floors, very straight long curtains, a Hugues Chevalier sofa, and an immense bookshelf." These design icons coexist harmoniously with treasures she has collected over time, including a Venetian chest of drawers and Deyrolles butterflies.
The journalist has also shared her appreciation for scented candles, particularly favoring the famous "Baies" and "Feu de Bois" fragrances from the luxury candle house Diptyque, which add an additional layer of sensory sophistication to her carefully curated living space.
When her demanding schedule permits, Roux escapes the capital to retreat to the Norman coast. She has a particular affinity for Blainville-sur-Mer, located near the elegant seaside resort of Deauville, where she enjoys rejuvenating in a countryside house. These outdoor getaways are often shared with her husband Laurent Solly, their children Marceau, 15, and Rosalie, 20, along with their faithful feline companion Berlioz, who serves as the loyal companion during family stays.
