Location
Not far from UNESCO and Invalides, the neighbourhood around Ecole Militaire is sought out by diplomats and senior officials alike, while, today, nearly 2,500 people, both civilian and military, live on Ecole Militaire’s 13-hectare grounds, the purpose of which is to train future Military Chiefs of Staff as well as many officers from other allied nations.
After having witnessed the Battle of Fontenoy, which ended on 11 May 1745 with more than 13,000 dead, Louis XV addressed his heir apparent and said: “See the blood that this victory cost us, the blood of men: the real glory is in sparing it”. It was shortly after this that he decided to create this school, in collaboration with Joseph Paris Duvernay, Madam de Pompadour, Ange-Jacques Gabriel and Maurice de Saxe.
Description
The corner building, in ashlar stone and erected in 1911, contains eight floors: a ground level with three former shop fronts, six square-shaped floors, the highest one of which, slightly set back, is highlighted by a wraparound balcony, while the last level, located under the eaves, is topped with a corner cupola.
Set back from the sidewalk, secure glass double doors, decorated and safeguarded with a delicately ornate wrought-iron grill, provide access to an immense entrance hall with a marble floor as well as walls clad in carved stone with moulding, platbands and a large arched mirror topped with a keystone. In addition, dentillated cornices highlight the ceiling, whereas towards the back, oak-framed, small-paned glass double doors open on to a narrow corridor. To the left, this hallway leads towards the building’s live-in caretaker’s accommodations, as well as, via another door, to the courtyard where the service staircases and cellar are located.
Back in the entrance hall and on the right, the main staircase, whose wool-carpeted steps wrap around a central lift, provides access to the upper floors where each landing gives on to two flats. As for the stairwell, it includes large stained glass windows, which allow plenty of natural light to enter this space, while the dual-aspect flat is located on the first floor on the left.
Accessible via double doors safeguarded by a 5-point locking system, the flat is preceded by a sizeable entryway, which gives on to a double living room with a marble fireplace, silver-plated trumeau mirrors, moulded wall panelling and richly sculpted cornices. In addition, its original doors, featuring either small panes of glass or wood panelling, as well as its chevron parquet floors, have been preserved in excellent condition, while its windows are safeguarded by metal louvred shutters.
Behind a door, a hallway leads to a fully fitted kitchen, which looks out over the courtyard, a separate lavatory, a shower room, two bedrooms facing the street, including one with a fireplace, a storeroom as well as a study. Lastly, the flat comes with collective heating and hot water, as well as a cellar of approximately 5 m².

Our opinion
Similar to a life annuity sale, but with the advantage of an occupation period limited to 17 years, this flat would be ideal for a buyer who would like to eventually own a property outright, either to live in or rent out. This sound investment, located on a quiet street in an affluent and distinguished neighbourhood in the 7th arrondissement, exudes undeniable comfort and tranquillity, while the picturesque Saxe-Breteuil green market is only a few steps away and the wide neighbouring tree-lined avenues of Ségur, Saxe and Lowendal, as well as the avenue de Breteuil with its grassy central esplanade, provide a pleasant verdant touch.
As a Parisian pied-à-terre or a main residence, families will be charmed by this flat located near well-renowned schools, both public and private, whereas the building’s stately common areas, lift and live-in caretaker provide additional high-quality amenities for this stunning flat characteristic of elegant Parisian residential buildings.
