Living Rue de la Pompe, a signature address, in Paris

Named after a pump that supplied water to the former  château de la Muette, in the 18th century, the Rue de la Pompe, that shelters Janson de Sailly, the most chic lycée in the capital, is a very coveted residential artery. Between the Bois de Boulogne and the Jardin du Ranelagh, this upscale street, of the 16th arrondissement in Paris, offers a wide array of remarkable private mansions with discreet luxury.

Amongst famous residents on this street, there were Pierre Brossolette, François Mauriac and Maréchal Joffre. On the 4th floor of a 19th century freestone building, hides an angle apartment, whose triple exposition of bow-windows offers an insight onto the Trocadéro. Spanning 287 m², bathed in light, its living room is enhanced with balconies, a herringbone pattern wood parquet floor and a high ceiling.
