Axelle de Buffévent, a Paris-based creative, has restored an 18th-century former clergy house in Burgundy, originally built in 1748 and revamped in 1841, into a personal country retreat. The property, discovered online in 2018, was previously owned by an art-world photographer and filled with works by artists like Pierre Alechinsky, Olivier Debré, Robert Combas, and Cy Twombly. De Buffévent worked with local artisans and her friend, architect Gaël Lunven, to restore the house, blending 18th-century antiques from her father with contemporary design pieces by Bethan Laura Wood, Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance, and Mathieu Mercier, as well as works by digital artist Miguel Chevalier and others.
