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.

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.

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.

TRIANGLE D’OR

Delimited by the avenue des Champs des Elysées, the Seine and the avenue Marceau, the Triangle d'Or district is one of the most popular in the capital.

A true summary of French luxury, the Triangle d’Or district brings together a multitude of prestigious places, renowned institutions and world-famous monuments. Emblem of the 8th arrondissement, it is home to the avenues of the Champs Élysées, Georges V and Montaigne, where shops and luxury hotels form a grand parade. Just go up the most beautiful avenue in the world, to cross the path of the Grand Palais and finish at the top of the mythical Arc de Triomphe, to enjoy its unique view embracing all of Paris.

An emblematic monument for Parisians, the Grand Palais was built by the three architects Henri Deglane, Albert Louvet and Albert Thomas for the Universal Exhibition of 1900. Recognizable by its huge glass dome, this building is a masterpiece architectural combination of stone, steel and glass. Every month, the national galleries organize large-scale exhibitions honoring many artists who have marked the history of Art.

An emblematic district of Paris combining French luxury and architectural masterpieces.

NATION

Situé à mi-chemin entre le 11e et le 12e arrondissement et délimité par le boulevard de Charonne et la rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine, le quartier Nation avec sa place demeure un point central de la ville et témoigne de l’artisanat parisien.

Considered one of the liveliest in the capital, the district also has some nooks and crannies with a bucolic air. There are many shops, bars and concert halls, as well as pretty little side streets at the bend of a street or under the porch of a building. The passage Lhomme, being the best known of the district, reveals itself as an attractive paved road bathed in vegetation. Recently refurbished and vegetated, it retains its historical heritage, erecting in its heart the sculptural work of Dalou “The Triumph of the Republic”.

A treasure trove of craftsmanship, you can admire the remains of old sawmills and workers’ workshops with wooded bay windows in the district. Today we admire the La Sorbonne-Nouvelle campus, a project signed by the architect Christian de Portzamparc.

Nation is a district that is renewing itself while retaining its historic charm, making it a popular place for Parisian city dwellers.

LARIBOISIÈRE

Located between boulevard de la Chapelle and rue de Paradis, the Lariboisière district is full of good gourmet addresses not to be missed.

This district, which owes its name to the eponymous hospital located nearby, is home to this sublime building, built in 1846 under the direction of the architect Martin-Pierre Gauthier. Its Chapel and its interior galleries create a worked and refined decor that is worth the detour. Another building to admire: the Saint-Vincent-de-Paul church designed by the architect Jacques-Ignace Hittorff in 1844. Its predominantly neoclassical style finds its inspiration in Greek temples and Roman basilicas.

Urban and lively, the district is punctuated with food shops and very good restaurants as well as places of cultural interest such as the Bouffe-du-Nord theatre, making it a perfect district for epicureans.

It is also adorned with a beautiful green setting, including the Aristide-Cavaillé-Coll square, ideal for pleasant walks among the jasmines in bloom. Formerly called “Vielle-Montagne”, it culminates on one of the highest hills of the capital.

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.

SAINT-AMBROISE

Halfway between Oberkampf and the Canal Saint-Martin, the Saint-Ambroise district is the peaceful and residential corner of the 11th arrondissement.

Centrally located and surrounded by the liveliness of the surrounding streets, Saint-Ambroise is a great place to live. We particularly appreciate its historical and cultural position as well as its pleasant green spaces such as the Maurice-Gardette square. On Boulevard Voltaire, you will discover the imposing Saint-Ambroise church, which gives its name to the district. This monument built by the architect Théodore Ballu in the 19th century mixes the neo-romanesque and neo-gothic movements and marks its presence by its enormous bell towers.
For an original escapade, we like to go to the Atelier des Lumières, offering immersive exhibitions. Housed in a former foundry, it is a guaranteed journey through the artists’ paintings that cover the walls, floors and ceilings.

Saint-Ambroise is both a cultural and family district where life is good.
