LES PEUPLIERS

A small bucolic district with the appearance of a village, the Peupliers district located in the 13th arrondissement of Paris is delimited by the avenue d'Italie, the rue de Tolbiac and the rue Bobillot.

Located at the foot of the famous Butte aux Cailles, this district is not lacking in charm. Peaceful and residential, it is one of the few suburban neighborhoods in Paris alongside Mouzaia or La Campagne in Paris. Characterized by its small colorful houses, the streets of the district are full of architectural nuggets: rue Dieulafoy has the air of Parisian Nothing Hill, when the tiny square des Peupliers built in 1926, forms a pedestrian loop punctuated by heterogeneous houses, in brick or in millstone.

A small oasis, the Cité Florale is an enclave of cobbled streets and houses with flower gardens. It offers a charming and quaint atmosphere, perfect for a leisurely stroll.
Close to Place d’Italie, the district benefits from excellent accessibility with local shops, restaurants and cafés, as well as pleasant green spaces for strolling, such as Kellermann Park.

A quaint neighborhood to explore away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

BERCY

Located along the right bank of the Seine, the Bercy district is much more than a business district.

Detached from typical Parisian architecture, the district benefited from major restructuring works from the end of the 20th century, giving it its current face. Having become a real center of economic activity, the district also hosts important cultural and leisure points of interest such as Bercy Village located in the former wine cellars of the Halles wineries, the AccorHotels Arena omnisport palace or the French Cinematheque built by Frank Gehry .

Quai d’Austerlitz, we are intrigued by the Cité de la Mode et du Design and its futuristic-looking building. Designed by architects Dominique Jakob and Brendan MarcFarlane, it fascinates with its green facade with complex shapes. The district also offers many spots and addresses very popular with its residents. We find in particular on its quays, barges sheltering open-air bars known for their musical evenings.

A district appreciated by its inhabitants for its accessibility and its many centers of interest.

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.

Sous une hauteur de plus de 5 mètres, cette pièce déploie ses volumes tout en courbes. Son parquet en hêtre, ses colonnes, sa bibliothèque sur mesure en pitchpin et sa mezzanine reprenant les codes d’une coque de bateau et donnent le la de cette belle partition architecturale. Baignée de lumière grâce à sa grande ouverture en forme de voile, elle ouvre sur le jardin intimiste et confortable, à la façon d’un jardin secret au calme absolu qui ne demande qu’à être investi. En retrait de l’espace de vie, s’aperçoit la vaste cuisine / salle à manger et un espace buanderie éclairés par la lumière du sol en verre du premier niveau.

Enfin, aux deux niveaux supérieurs se trouvent les espaces nuits avec cinq belles chambres dont une parentale, ponctuées par endroits de courbes et dont certaines se parent d’incrustations vitrées allégoriques comme signature de cette maison-bateau. Elles se partagent deux salles de bain et une salle d’eau.

Une œuvre architecturale hors norme à proximité de la vie parisienne.

Jacques-Émile Lecaron

Né à Paris en 1939, Jacques‑Émile Lecaron est un architecte français formé à l’École spéciale d’architecture, puis à Harvard, où il obtient un master en urbanisme. Influencé par des figures comme Frank Lloyd Wright, Buckminster Fuller ou Bruce Goff, il développe une approche originale mêlant architecture, poésie et imagination.

Installé à Clamart depuis les années 1970, il y conçoit une série de maisons singulières – telles que la Maison d’acier, l’Arche de Noé ou la Maison de la Belle au bois dormant – dont les formes colorées et narratives traduisent les rêves et les personnalités de leurs habitants. Il réalise aussi des aménagements urbains et œuvres publiques, en lien étroit avec leur environnement.

Lecaron se distingue par une architecture expressive, presque onirique, qui refuse les normes pour mieux raconter des histoires. À travers ses créations, il propose une autre manière d’habiter : plus libre, plus intime, et profondément humaine.

SAINT-PHILIPPE-DU-ROULE

The chic and central district of Saint Philippe du Roule revolves around the famous Avenue des Champs-Élysées, known for its luxury boutiques, the Arc de Triomphe and the Lido cabaret.

Located in the heart of the 8th arrondissement, Saint Philippe du Roule is a district steeped in history. Formerly, the district was a village comprising three hamlets around the Saint-Philippe-du-Roule church, at the level of the current Place des Ternes and the town of Bishop. These three small villages were united into a single district in 1639.

It is bounded to the east by avenues de Matignon, Delcassé and Percier, to the west by rue de Washington. The rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré plays the role of central axis which subdivides the district into two parts right through. In its center, there is the neoclassical church of Saint-Philippe du Roule. The surrounding streets are lined with elegant Haussmann buildings that house embassies, luxury hotels, including the Warwick, the California and the Marriott Champs-Élysées, the famous Gaveau concert hall, a former home of a piano maker, and restaurants such as the double star Apicius.

A historic district, with an urban landscape and a lively atmosphere.
