Comme une succession de surprises, se découvre au niveau supérieur une pièce de vie baignée de lumière car ouverte d’Est en Ouest grâce à ses larges baies vitrées sur mesures encadrées de mélèze d’Autriche transperçant de part et d’autre les façades comme de véritables tableaux sur la nature reposante du jardin et sur l’architecture stimulante de la maison. En point d’orgue, la cheminée rotative Focus, véritable pièce maîtresse, promet des instants chaleureux au coin du feu.

À l’étage, la suite parentale aux belles proportions et à la salle d’eau intimiste rehaussée de mosaïque noir brillant, sobre et élégante est aérée, ouverte à l’ouest et propice à la détente. Un espace bureau modulaire vient parfaire ce niveau.

En retrait de l’espace de vie, au calme, se retrouvent deux belles chambres ouvertes sur le jardin paysagé à l’Ouest avec leur dressing et leur salle de bain à la mosaïque jaune dynamisante.

Enfin, comble de la praticité, cette maison familiale dispose d’un vaste espace de stockage et d’une buanderie.

COLOMBES

Located in the North-West of Paris after Asnières-sur-Seine and Bois-Colombes, the city of Colombes is the largest residential city in the inner suburbs of Paris.

Particularly well served by public transport, Colombes is the eleventh municipality of Île-de-France and the fourth municipality of Hauts-de-Seine. The historic heart is crossed by rue Saint-Denis, pedestrianized and lined with many shops. Its territory is rich in an industrial past and a particularly varied architectural heritage with mansions, beautiful bourgeois residences, 19th century holiday villas, residential housing estates or even beautiful architecture from the 1930s such as the former Hôtel des Postes by François Le Cœur in 1928.
The town benefits from several attractive green spaces such as the Pierre Lagravère park located on the banks of the Seine. The cultural and sporting offer is not to be outdone thanks to the Avant-Seine theater whose program delights young and old and the Yves-Du-Manoir sports complex, famous for having hosted the Summer Olympics in 1924 and soon, the field hockey events during the 2024 Olympic Games.

A destination of choice for families looking for a more spacious place to live.

LE PRÉ SAINT-GERVAIS

Bordered by Pantin, the 19th arrondissement and the Lilas, Le Pré-Saint-Gervais is the Ile-de-France town closest to Paris.

Carried away by his momentum, the Parisian who runs on a Sunday morning from Belleville to Pantin, will pass by Le Pré-Saint-Gervais without even noticing it… With 70 hectares of area, Le Pré-Saint-Gervais is the smallest town in ‘Ile-de-France.

Built on a meadow, the village offers the remains of a country walk, which Parisians came to do there in the 19th century, as well as workers’ workshops from the 20th century. Bamboo houses, atypical volumes, brick houses, narrow paths, vaulted porches… the architecture gives a particularly popular atmosphere to the “Pré”.

A veritable open-air laboratory, it hosts a park that combines greenery and street art, a market, part of which is covered, a village square that has a southern air and, recently, six shared gardens. Everything is good to create a family spirit and bring Gervaisiens together!

A very lively small town retaining its old charm.

Rich of an architectural heritage spanning the ages, Asnières-sur-Seine is full of monuments and places that bear witness to the city’s prosperous past: from the Neolithic era, with its menhir located in the Square du Maréchal Leclerc, to the 18th century with its castle, emblem of the city, and also masterpieces from the Art Nouveau era with the house of Monsieur Vuitton or from the Art Deco era with the facade of the Main Post Office.

Its inner city around the train station remains the most sought-after district for its accessibility, its shops and its charm, while the west of the city hosts beautiful bourgeois residences from the beginning of the 20th century which are the most popular.

In terms of transport, the city is one of the most accessible of the inner suburbs, with a metro line (and soon an additional line as part of the Grand Paris Express) as well as two train lines connecting Saint-Lazare station in 7 minutes from downtown.

A small particularity has made it famous: the first cemetery of the modern era intended for pets, inaugurated in 1900, located in Robinson Park which runs along the banks of the Seine. Another green space of interest is the Square Leclerc located behind the Town Hall.

IVRY-SUR-SEINE

Barely 5 km from Paris, Ivry-sur-Seine is a multicultural commune offering a rich architectural diversity linked, in part, to its industrial past.

The town, which borders the capital, is impressive for its geometrically shaped, non-conformist buildings, which give the architectural landscape a dynamic character.
On the Place de la République, you can see the Jeanne Hachette residential tower, an emblematic figure of the Beauvais resistance in the 15th century. This work was designed by Renée Gailhoustet, the city’s chief architect at the time. In collaboration with Jean Renaudie, she completely rethought the town centre’s urban plan. This project gave rise to the Jeanne Hachette shopping centre, for which it is internationally renowned.
Ivry-sur-Seine is a resolutely attractive town with its shops, markets and cultural centres such as the Manufacture des Œillets theatre and its eclectic programme. The city has also preserved its heritage linked to the manufacturing industry. Today, its renovated loft buildings create a contrast between industrial and modernist constructions.

A culturally rich city, which offers an ideal living environment for families or young people.

CHATOU

Near Paris and the Hauts-de-Seine department, Chatou, the town of the Impressionists, enjoys an ideal environment between the Seine and the countryside.

Entering the city via the Chatou bridge, the magic of the city is instantly apparent thanks to the change of scenery offered by the banks of the Seine and its deep blue-green reflections. It is in this natural setting, between river, greenery and dance halls that impressionism was born. Renoir, Monet and Manet all immersed themselves in this changing environment where the play of light inspired their art. The arrival of the railway, linking Saint-Lazare to Le Pecq, transformed Chatou into a playground for artists and became a holiday resort for Parisians fleeing the capital.
Today, the town is firmly rooted on the banks of the Seine, with the Île des Impressionnistes, its banks and its effervescent antique and ham fair, a must for lovers of antiques and design. The commune offers a peaceful and pleasant living environment with its many schools, its market and its restaurants. It is not to be outdone in terms of culture and is home to the La Fournaise museum and the emblematic Louis Jouvet cinema. The Maison Levanneur is home to the Galerie Bessières, a modern art gallery exhibiting international artists such as Shawn Huckins, Stephen Ormandy and Christopher Kuhn.

A charming city, steeped in history and culture, conducive to a peaceful family life.
