Historic townhouse - Paris 5th

On the banks of the Seine, on the Left Bank, opposite the Île Saint-Louis and in the immediate vicinity of Notre-Dame, the “Hôtel de Nesmond” stands out as a striking landmark. Comprising several buildings arranged around its main courtyard, this highly distinctive mansion encapsulates much of Paris’s history in a single structure. From its development under Philip the Fair in the 14th century to its transformation in the 17th century by François-Théodore de Nesmond, superintendent of the House of the Prince of Condé and president of the Parliament of Paris, who gave it its current name, it represents the quintessence of the Parisian private mansion. Confiscated during the French Revolution in 1789, it fell into disrepute, becoming an absinthe factory in the 19th century, a period described in one of Alphonse Daudet’s *Contes du lundi* from 1872: ‘… One feels at home in a factory… But with the night, the deep silence, that winter moon which, amidst the jumble of intricate rooftops, casts and intertwines shadows, the ancient Nesmond mansion regains its stately air.” In the mid-20th century, a complete restoration restored it to its former glory. Owned by the same family (partially purchased in 1847 and fully acquired in 1872), – with eight generations having lived there – the Hôtel de Nesmond is now selling one of its pavilions: its left wing, a beautiful detached residence with views of the Seine and Notre-Dame de Paris, is situated closest to the grand entrance porch, which was listed as a Historic Monument in 1962, as were the roofs and façades of the buildings surrounding the main courtyard. Boasting 234 m² of living space plus a 33 m² storage room/studio overlooking the main courtyard and 111 m² of vaulted cellars, this property—currently configured as two duplexes—offers you the opportunity to transform the building according to your wishes and plans. Its prime location in the heart of the Latin Quarter makes it ‘The Place to be’ to give free rein to your imagination and create an exceptional space.
