Fireplaces are a well-known characteristic of traditional Haussmannian apartments in Paris. Funnily enough, it was prohibited to actually use them for many years due to fear of fire!
Though they don’t serve their original purpose anymore, fireplaces have become such an iconic part of Parisian apartments that many of them remain in place with the insides blocked.
Today, they function similarly to console tables in countless Parisian living rooms and bedrooms.
