An Open Plan Design for Parisian Living
From the moment you step into this apartment, you’re surrounded by a lovely sense of history. Original wooden beams from the 1800s decorate the ceiling, adding their rich, deep hue and characteristic decorative style to the space. With two large French windows, there’s fabulous light in the living area, along with absolutely charming views looking out on rue du Dragon. Louise was right to place a sofa directly facing the view – it’s oh so Parisian! While you’ll enjoy having the windows open, they’re also double-paned for total calm and comfort.
Charming buildings along rue du Dragon.
The open plan design couldn’t be more convenient. The spacious living area has plenty of room for a seating area anchored by the decorative fireplace as well as a dining area that opens to the beautiful kitchen. It’s the perfect space to enjoy relaxed evenings at home in Paris or even spend time with family or friends visiting.
Beautiful historic details in the living room.
Recently remodeled to a very high standard, this apartment for sale has a classic style and gorgeous parquet flooring. It’s ready for you to add your creative touch to create your own dream Parisian home!
Beautiful modern kitchen with sleek cabinets.
Although located in a historic building, this property has an energy rating of D, which is excellent for an older building. This means that there won’t be any problems for rentals going forward (ratings less than D will need renovation in order to legally rent) if you choose to rent the property when you’re not in Paris. Short term furnished rentals are no longer legal for second homes in Paris, however, this property is absolutely perfect for the long stay furnished rental market (1 month or more) which is legal and in great demand. It’s all the little—and not so little—details like this that make it so important to work with a team like ours when buying property in Paris. Find out more about our Property Search Services here.

Just outside the master bedroom is a separate powder room. It’s handy to have separate, especially when you have guests visiting.
Second bedroom (right) and separate powder room (left) are great for guests!
There’s also an additional small room that can be used as a sleeping nook or an office. Madelyn, the founder of Paris Perfect, has a wonderful sense for maximizing space and she suggests getting an Italian designed desk that can be flipped open to a bed to create a multi-functional office and guest room space. Very clever!
Stroll over to the Church of Saint-Germain-des-Prés.

Spend time strolling through Luxembourg Gardens.
Another perk of rue du Dragon is that it’s very close to both the Seine and Luxembourg Gardens, which you’ll love for evening strolls or enjoying time outdoors right in the heart of Paris. Rue du Dragon encapsulates the quintessential Parisian experience, making it a highly sought-after address on the Left Bank.
Enjoy coffee at ones of Paris’s most storied literary cafes.
Saint-Germain-des-Prés has long been a haven for artists and literary luminaries, and its historic cafes stand as testament to this unique creative legacy. The iconic Les Deux Magots and Café de Flore, both on Boulevard Saint-Germain just around the corner from rue du Dragon, were frequented by creative minds such as Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway and Jean-Paul Sartre. The artistic spirit of the neighborhood is still very much alive. Grab a seat at one of the tables and you might just find yourself inspired by the beauty of Paris too!
