Aligre-Gare de Lyon, Paris 12ème
From atop the July Column, the Genius of Liberty contemplates the centuries in which French history took a dramatic turn, in the Place de la Bastille. Perhaps he also contemplates what this emblematic site in eastern Paris has become today.
It overlooks, of course, this pedestrianized square and the Arsenal basin, where the promenades have a seaside feel, while the Saint-Martin canal runs underground. Behind it lies one of Paris's major cultural landmarks: the Opéra, which since 1989 has replaced a former train station, whose access viaduct is now a pleasant promenade the Coulée Verte René Dumont. Between Rue Saint-Antoine and Rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine, it overlooks the restaurants, shops, and entertainment venues of this sought-after neighborhood at the crossroads of several arrondissements.
Walking away from the imposing column and the Eye of the Genius, it only takes a few meters to reach the Rue de Charenton, which stretches eastward. Between the Quinze-Vingts Hospital founded by Saint Louis to care for the blind of the kingdom and the famous Aligre Market, this street crosses part of this welcoming, lively, and central 12th arrondissement, a stone's throw from the Gare de Lyon and the Bercy district.
On the Bastille side, this one-way street runs alongside the modern architecture of the Opéra Bastille, as well as small, suburban-style buildings, the kind that still remain in Paris. It is in one of these buildings that you will find the property offered exclusively by the [.VOUS.] Agency, on the second floor, accessible by a private staircase.
This 116 m² duplex (Carrez law, + 8 m² of floor space) is a generous property with a rare layout. Like its 40 m² living room, it offers a spacious feel where communal living naturally takes place.
This vast room covered with parquet flooring invites imagination and creation, while the kitchen, with its terracotta floor tiles, also offers plenty of space and storage.
The two bedrooms offer much-needed peace and quiet under the eaves, as well as a comfortable bathroom.
On the upper floor, the mezzanine will be another area for creation or storage, while the 17.50 m² office, next to the second bedroom, lends itself easily to hosting a workshop, a library, or even a third bedroom.
The whole is laid out as a duplex, giving this property a combination of privacy and space a rare balance in a Parisian building.
Although less perched than the Genius, more confidential and less exposed than the July Column, this atypical apartment which reaches out to the Bastille will be a place of freedom for its occupants.
