Sommaire

Paris is made up of a diverse collection of districts. The oldest areas tell a bit about the capital’s history, reflecting the development of the real estate sector and the city’s urban landscape through time. Located between Jussieu University and the National Museum of Natural History, in the fifth arrondissement, the name of Jardin du Roi (the King’s Garden) refers to the greenhouses where medicinal plants were cultivated during the reign of Louis XIII.

Paris, its Quartier du Roi, and its Renaissance-era homes

This Renaissance-style home is located atop this royal site. Built in 1610, the 700 m² building is arranged around a paved courtyard, the roof of which can be opened when the weather allows. Located along a quiet, pedestrian-only street, it is made up of three interconnected buildings overlooking the street and courtyard.
