DISTURBING new pictures of Jeffrey Epstein’s Paris lair show it was decorated with stuffed animals and featured a red-walled massage room.
Epstein was also seen posing with two young topless women inside the £10million flat where Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Peter Mandelson were reportedly regular guests.
Sat just steps away from the iconic Arc de Triomphe, the 18-room home was a favoured location for Epstein to stay while in the French capital.
Police have singled out the swanky apartment as a potential hotbed of abuse as they continue to look into allegations from several different women against the financier.
Epstein visited it more than 170 times, and used it as the European base of his alleged international sex trafficking ring.
Investigators on the Epstein case in France have spent weeks searching 22 Avenue Foch after the apartment was frequently mentioned in the latest files released by the US Department of Justice.
Images from inside have now been released after searches of the home in relation to French modelling agent Jean-Luc Brunel, who was charged with rape and later took his own life in custody in 2022.
Brunel was a known associate of Epstein before his death.
One of images released shows a red massage room in the apartment which is dimly lit.
Inside sits a wall of photos and a sole massage table in the centre.
Drawers full of so-called massage devices were also found by cops.
Another photo found in the 18-room apartment on Avenue Foch, one of Paris’s most exclusive addresses, shows the paedophile sprawled beside two topless women.
Laid flat on a massage table, a shirtless Epstein is facing the camera as two women sit on his legs.
One appears to be wearing just underwear as another is in jeans.
Back in 2019, Epstein’s Franco-Brazilian butler told the Franceinfo news outlet a massage room was specially built to cater for “a great many women”.
The Parisian lair was also decorated with images of naked and half-naked young women on the walls.
Stuffed animals, including a baby elephant and a vulture, can be seen across several of the rooms, according to French newspaper Le Parisien.
The red theme continued across the sprawling apartment with a study lined with red leather and a bizarre Chinese-themed room with portraits of emperors and dragon wallpaper.
All of the photographs were seized by detectives in 2019 – the year Epstein is said to have died by suicide in an American prison cell.
Investigations into Epstein are ongoing with at least three women claiming they were abused by Epstein or his associates in France.
There remains fears that the true number of Epstein’s victims could be higher than imagined with French cops releasing the images to help others come forwards.
Chief Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau said: “We are hoping all this data will help us get a well-informed, very broad, panoramic view [of the case].”
French prosecutors have now opened two new investigations related to Epstein – one into financial crimes and another into human trafficking.
The flat was pictured in the Epstein files most notably in an image of the former Brit ambassador to the US Peter Mandelson in his underwear.
Mandelson claimed to have “no idea” why he was photographed in such a state.
The ex-Labour minister was posing with an unnamed young woman while on an iPad.
Mandelson, as well as Andrew, has vehemently denied any knowledge of Epstein’s crimes.
Another regular guest at the property was Epstein’s long-term British girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, now 64, who is currently serving 20 years in a US prison for child trafficking.
