Location
On the outskirts of the Upper Marais and the Arts-et-Métiers neighbourhood, the rue Chapon is lined with private mansions and other noble edifices from the 17th and 18th centuries, while, as testaments to the Marais’s ancient urban fabric, they are nestled within an ever-changing environment featuring cultural and creative spaces as well as trendy food businesses.
Only a few minutes by foot from the rue de Bretagne, the Centre Pompidou and Paris’s Hôtel de Ville, the area benefits from the Marais’s vitality and, yet, has preserved an identity that is both intimate and authentic in nature, whereas this location also strikes a sought-out balance between a bustling atmosphere and exclusivity, within an arrondissement known for its youthful energy and quality of life. In addition, the nearby Arts et Métiers metro station makes it possible to easily reach the capital’s different hubs thanks to the lines 3 and 11.
Description
Accessible via a lift, the flat is located on the sixth and last floor of a sumptuous building with an ashlar stone façade built in 1900, whose common areas were recently renovated, while, enjoying a prime address, without any direct neighbours and sheltered from view, it features triple exposure under an open sky, which provides peace and quiet, as well as remarkable natural light.
Completely redesigned by an Italian architect, it has more than 71 m² of floor area and stands out thanks to the precise layout of its spaces and a fluid circulation, which is highlighted by floor-to-ceiling heights ranging from 3 to 4.6 metres.
From the front door, the entryway gives on to an open-plan main room, which includes a living room and a dining room, preceded by an open and contemporary kitchen where each detail was rigorously designed with a minimalist look, whereas a bedroom overhead, accessible via an open-riser staircase, overlooks the whole and includes cleverly integrated built-in storage, which helps optimise the space.
Under the bedroom, a custom-built wardrobe has been created, while the shower room, with an independent lavatory and a utility room, is located in a separate cubic space, designed as a central unit with clean lines, which provides structure for its various uses, without disrupting the open volume’s continuity.
In addition, an automated glass roof offers plenty of natural light, turning this flat into a sun-drenched loft on nice days, whereas the straight-plank parquet floors, deftly tinted in matte and pale tones, dialogue with the walls’ white colour palette, which increases the feeling of space and adds to the flat’s overall minimalist aesthetic.
As for the finishing details and, specifically the shower room's fixtures, such as the stainless steel faucets, shower, washbasin and bright recessed lighting, they are of the highest quality, while, fully renovated, the flat, which is sold with a cellar, boasts a timeless appearance and modern comforts, with the possibility of adding an air-conditioning system if so desired.

Our opinion
In all likelihood one of the Marais’s most characteristic streets, the rue Chapon, whose historical and elegant 17th and 18th-century buildings blend in seamlessly with the latest and ever-changing trends of this dynamic neighbourhood, is nestled within an intimate setting, while, the flat, which seems to float above the city, is immersed in silence and features panoramic views of the sky.
Here, the flat’s different areas provide a sense of openness, which is emphasised by its stunning and precise architecture, in which a central cube acts as a pivot and discreetly structures the space, whereas its sunny interior has been designed as a quiet haven well removed from the urban hustle and bustle.
Ideal for aesthetes, this flat could be used as a pied-à-terre, an artist’s studio or a full-time residence for an individual or couple.
