Location
Between the Seine and boulevard Saint-Germain, the rue de Lille, located in Paris’s antiques district, was created around 1640 on the large Pré-aux-Clercs, which then represented an immense piece of land that was dependent on the Saint-Germain-des-Prés abbey, while the street was initially called the rue de Bourbon in homage to the royal family.
During the French Revolution, its name was changed to rue de Lille in order to honour the courage of Lille residents who had heroically resisted the siege of Austrian troops in 1792, whereas, today, lined with antique shops, art galleries and government institutions – like the Deposits and Consignments Fund Office and the National Assembly buildings – it still remains one of the most elegant and historical streets in the middle of Paris.
As for public transportation, the area is accessible via the Rue du Bac (line 12) and the Saint-Germain-des-Prés (line 4) metro stations.
Description
Constructed during the Second Empire, the building’s understated façade features, as of the second floor, a series of windows, topped with triangular pediments and flanked by moulded columns, whose wrought-iron balustrades represent the building’s main décor. Past the carriage entrance, the flat is directly accessible from the building’s courtyard, while an enclosed, verdant and private patio, of approximately 12 m², provides a bucolic feel for the property. The latter, on the same level as the patio, was completely renovated with quality materials in order to create a functional and pleasant living environment, while the main room gives on to the patio thanks to a glass door and a large window.
Next door is a semi-open, fitted kitchen, whereas the modern shower room, relatively spacious, includes a washing machine and dryer, concealed in a large cupboard. Also giving on to the patio, a room used as a bedroom includes a retractable bed, which, once folded up, reveals a bookcase, while the flat’s heat and hot water are both electric.

Our opinion
Located in the middle of one of the most sought-out and affluent neighbourhoods in Paris, yet devoid of all ostentation, this stunning flat is immersed in the intellectual and artistic spirit specific to the Left Bank, where private mansions were conceived by the most esteemed architects from the 17th and 18th centuries. Promising a living environment suited for discreet buyers, sheltered from view as well as the Parisian tumult, here, each detail was designed in order to create a sophisticated and modern ambiance, while the flat stands out thanks to its patio, a one-of-a-kind amenity representing a separate living space in its own right, like some sort of privileged refuge in the middle of the Faubourg Saint-Germain.
