Engel & Volkers presents, in the heart of historic Paris, on the prestigious Quai de la Tournelle and facing Île Saint-Louis, this character duplex apartment set within the remarkable Hôtel de Nesmond, a private mansion built in the 17th century. Located on the 2nd and 3rd floors under the eaves of the left pavilion of the mansion, this air-conditioned apartment offers 111 sq m of living space (98 sq m Carrez) and enjoys a striking view over the Seine and Notre-Dame Cathedral. From the first level, the apartment reveals a magnificent double living room of around 50 sq m with harmonious proportions, enhanced by abundant natural light. Open to the west onto the main courtyard and to the north onto the Seine quays, it offers a rare panorama of one of the capital's most emblematic landscapes. On the upper level, the sleeping area comprises a bedroom with en-suite bathroom, as well as an 11 sq m office that can serve as a second bedroom, with a charming balcony—a true belvedere from which to contemplate this Parisian setting of rare intensity. Just a short walk from Place Maubert–Mutualité, its famous market, its food shops and the cultural venues typical of the Latin Quarter, this rare address, in the Henri IV middle-school catchment area, is ideally suited to an elegant Parisian pied-à-terre, a charming family residence, or a prime long-term investment. A period vaulted cellar of approximately 25 sq m completes this unique property.

Rich in history, Paris's 5th arrondissement lies on the Left Bank of the Seine. It is the oldest arrondissement in Paris and has preserved the only two still-visible remnants of the Roman era: the Cluny Baths and the Arènes de Lutèce. A bit of history: The Hôtel de Nesmond was originally the residence of Philip the Fair's head baker in the 14th century, then of the Duke of Bar. In 1586 it was purchased by Jacques Faye d'Espesse from the Duke of Montpensier, François de Bourbon. In 1643, François-Théodore de Nesmond, President of the Parliament of Paris, gave it its present appearance. Saint-Simon relates in his Memoirs that Mr. de Nesmond's daughter-in-law, daughter of Madame de Miramion, out of vanity had her name engraved on the pediment of the carriage entrance. In the 18th century, the townhouse became the residence of Michel Blondy, a dance master, then in the 19th century the headquarters of an absinthe distillery. The townhouse is partially listed (entrance door, façades and roofs) as a historic monument by order of 23 October 1962.
