Our opinion
A leafy property in a residential area of Fontenay-aux-Roses, ideal for a professional or artistic activity, or for a large family. The main house does not require any work. The green spaces that adorn the residence are majestic and contain a wide variety of different species – laurel, pine, bamboo, roses and more – giving the impression that you are in a remote hideaway, when you are in fact so close to Paris.
