Focus sur ces clichés qui immortalisent l’intérieur d’un appartement parisien abandonné il y a 70 ans. Cet endroit magnifique a été récemment retrouvé intact mais poussiéreux. Il appartenait à la grand-mère de l’actrice française Marthe de Florian (décédée en 1939). Les loyers ont continué à être prélevés du compte de la grand-mère pendant des décennies, bien qu’elle ait abandonné son habitation durant la Seconde Guerre Mondiale pour échapper aux nazis. Malgré cette histoire, ce lieu déborde d’objets précieux et rares : on peut trouver une peinture de l’artiste italien Giovanni Boldini qui l’a peinte et avec qui elle a échangé de nombreuses lettres d’amour.
