Paris 6th, 2-Bedroom Fractional Ownership Residence Club

Paris Fractional Ownership Property in the Latin Quarters between the Pont Neuf, rue de Buci and the Bd Saint Germain in Paris' 6th District: Elegant, 2 Bedroom Triplex Loft with AC. This apartment is ideally located on Rue de Nesle, between the Bd St. Germain and the Pont Neuf (the oldest bridge in Paris) on the Seine river.


The Interior
This tranquil apartment is perched on top of number 13, rue de Nesle. When you enter the apartment, you are struck by its luminosity. There are windows and skylights everywhere, and an open kitchen and living room area separated by a floor fashioned from exotic Wenge wood parquet. A pair of custom-built couches structures the living room, which features four-meter (12 feet) high ceilings. The couches turn into two comfortable, full single beds for extra guests.

The kitchen is fully equipped -- after all, what’s the point in owning an apartment in Paris if you cannot indulge in the pleasures of food shopping, cooking, and entertaining like a real Parisian? It has everything a gourmet chef could need including a full oven; dishwasher; microwave oven; food processor; mixer; espresso machine. Adjacent to the kitchen, you'll find the laundry closet, with washing machine and separate dryer.

Four steps up lead you to a separate bedroom, with two single beds, a sleek corner desk and en suite shower and sink. The two beds can be joined together to form one queen-size bed. The shower cabin is decorated with translucent glass tiling and the bathroom floor is paved in smooth pebbles. A few more steps up lead you to the mezzanine bedroom. A queen-size bed sits right under the skylight ceiling windows. A compact, but private bathroom, with a bathtub and toilet, sits on the same floor (there's also a separate, guest toilet on the main floor, just as you enter the apartment).


The Location
The 6th arrondissement is one of the 20 arrondissements of Paris. It is bordered by the Seine River on the north, and it is located on the Left Bank. For the most part, this arrondissement comprises expensive residential neighborhoods and official buildings (ministries etc.).

The rue de Nesle is buzzing with book wholesalers activities during the day. In the evening, however, it quiets down nicely (though if you’re looking for action it’s just a short stroll down to the river or up onto the bustling St-Germain towards Odeon) . In between, you'll find one of Paris’ most charming market streets, the rue de Buci, and the rue de Seine, lined with wonderful antique shops and art galleries. Not to mention other Paris cultural monuments such as the Académie Française, the Café de Flore, Les Deux Magots, the Monnaie de Paris, the Pont des Arts, etc. all of which are within short walking distance.

Local Points of Interest: The rue de Seine, with its antique and arts stores; The rue de Buci, a quaint market street with many chic cafés and restaurants, and a wonderful florist, the Pont Neuf; and of course, the Boulevard St-Germain.

The Architecture
This is a 16th-17th century building. Built on the remains of the Paris fortification walls and the famous Tour de Nesle, or tower of Nesle, both constructed between 1190 and 1220, during the reign of Philippe Auguste, you can still see some of the walls' and tower's vestiges in the building's lobby. The Tour de Nesle was made infamous by Alexandre Dumas, in his story of the same name, which recounts how King Louis X’s wife Marguerite, and her sisters, used to meet secretly with lovers, before disposing of them in the Seine river before dawn.

The Bottom Line
All effort and expense -- one entire year of renovation work was necessary here -- were expended to ensure that this is the ideal Paris Pied-à-Terre that you have been searching for. It was designed as a private apartment first, as if we were to move in ourselves, and equipped with many of the features and facilities that you'd find in a five-star hotel room, and more.

Everything from the exquisite materials, to the equipment, to the subtle color scheme, was chosen with the sole purpose of pleasing our owners. We want you to enjoy a flawlessly agreeable stay in Paris: Best Bose music/home cinema system; central AC/heating; even an automatic foot massager for those sore feet after a long day of pounding Paris pavements.

This is an utterly modern apartment, with touches of the 1940s and 50s decorative arts added in some of the furnishings. The furniture that isn’t custom built came mostly from antique shops from Paris and Brussels -- there's even a lamp we hand-carried back from Cape Town -- to add charm and warmth to this unique apartment. The mood lighting in the living room is generated by a set of three painted light boxes by Italian artist Walter Puppo that we found in a gallery in Brussels.


About Fractional Ownership
Fractional ownership is a percentage share of an expensive property. Shares are sold to individual owners. Typically, a company manages the asset on behalf of the owners, who pay monthly/annual fees for the management plus variable (e.g. per-hour, per-day) use fees. Fractional ownership provides an ideal way to get the most out of your investment by purchasing only the shares or time you require from a property. All other aspects are split, both the benefits and the costs, amongst a limited number of shareholders or members. Fractional ownership means that you physically own a percentage of the asset until you decide to sell.
