A comfortable 28-m² studio in perfect condition
on Rue de Lille, in a 17th century private mansion
Paris, PARIS paris 75007 FR

Location

The building is in the heart of the 7th arrondissement, in the antique dealers’ district. In 1622, Queen Margaret of Valois assigned land alongside the Seine River to be divided into plots, opposite the Louvre and the Tuileries. The Faubourg Saint Germain district developed from the neighbouring village of the same name. This led to the creation of Rue de Bourbon – now called Rue de Lille – and many religious communities settled here. The Theatines order built this private mansion as a revenue house. The district boasts a rich cultural scene, with the Musée d’Orsay museum, École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts fine arts academy and the Maison Gainsbourg Museum all nearby. Nearby, there are many food shops, especially in Rue du Bac. The building can be reached with ease via the Musée d’Orsay metro station.

Description

This south facing studio has a surface of approximately 28 m² and is located in a 17th century private mansion on Rue de Lille. The building has a façade that combines noble volumes and a sober character, as well as a remarkable paved courtyard adorned with a large climbing jasmine plant. The building’s elevations have recently been restored and this is a particularly spacious property, with ceiling heights of almost 3.7 metres. Thanks to a number of thoughtful layout features, the space of the square-shaped main room is perfectly organised. It is furnished with a sofa bed, a small bookcase, a desk and possesses plenty of storage space. The windows are fitted with interior shutters and the ceiling boasts exposed joists.
In the enclosed separate kitchen, there is a washing machine and dishwasher, as well as plenty of space for two people to eat together.

The Hôtel des Théatins

This building was built between 1630 and 1670 on the site of the French Queen’s former gardens and was one of the first on Rue de Bourbon, as well as one of the initial witnesses to how the current 7th arrondissement became urbanised. It was built to be what was called at the time a revenue house. The façade is very sober, even if it boasts noble volumes.
