Description
Situé au cœur du Marais, cet appartement prend place dans un ancien hôtel particulier emblématique du quartier, témoin du Paris aristocratique des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles. Derrière sa façade chargée d’histoire, cette adresse confidentielle offre un cadre de vie rare, à l’abri de l’agitation. Au troisième étage avec ascenseur, cet appartement de 78,03 m² loi Carrez séduit par son calme, sa luminosité et son caractère traversant entre deux cours. L’entrée ouvre sur une cuisine ouverte, aménagée et équipée, qui se prolonge vers une vaste pièce de vie exposée ouest. Celle-ci bénéficie d’une vue dégagée sur un jardin, sans vis-à-vis, offrant un environnement paisible et baigné de lumière. Une salle à manger indépendante, donnant sur cour, complète l’espace de réception. Côté nuit, une première chambre exposée ouest profite du même calme et d’une belle luminosité. La seconde chambre dispose de nombreux rangements. Une salle de douche ainsi que des toilettes indépendantes viennent compléter cet espace. L’ensemble a su conserver le charme de l’ancien, avec une atmosphère chaleureuse et authentique. Traversant, au calme absolu, avec des vues dégagées sur les jardins, ce bien constitue une opportunité rare dans un cadre chargé d’histoire. Possibilité d’acquérir un emplacement de parking au sein de la copropriété.
Location
Open in Google MapsLiving in Paris 3e
The upper Marais — one of Paris's most sought-after neighborhoods, packed with galleries, museums (Picasso, Carnavalet), designer boutiques, and historic hôtels particuliers. It's walkable, beautiful, and extremely central, but property prices are among the highest in Paris. Expect a lively, cosmopolitan atmosphere with plenty of English spoken.
Morning baguettes from the corner boulangerie, two-hour lunches with wine that no one apologizes for, and the slow realization that the French were right about everything involving food.

Next steps for moving to France
Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.
Understand the buying rules

Sort out your visa
Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.
Plan your finances
Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.
Know your tax obligations
US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.
