The location of the apartment in the little-known, chic Saint Paul neighbourhood is a perfect starting place for strolls to the Notre Dame Cathedral, the Ile Saint Louis, the Louvre or the Bastille. Le Marais is an area that is known for its diverse history. During the 17th and 18th centuries it was the royal district, popular with the French aristocracy. By the 19th century, it had taken a more industrial and creative turn as it became popular with artisans. It is this feeling that has stayed with the Marais and today the area is bustling with creativity and innovation. Antique shops, restaurants, boutiques are numerous along the main north and south axis of Rue Saint Paul. In the past, the building has been the location of Hotel La Vieuville (sixteenth century). The estate remained in the family until 1741. From 1777 to 1793, the hotel was owned by the couriers and delivery services from Paris to Lyon. In 1822 there was installed a sewage treatment and clarification of the Seine water. This hotel was demolished in 1927 to make room for the warehouses of the department store La Samaritaine. They were built in 1935 with bricks and stone to remind the Louis 13th style, prevailing style of the neighbourhood. In 1981, these warehouses were destroyed, exception of the façade to build 151 luxury apartments. The work has been conducted by the architect Franco Cesari.
