The luxury of an outdoor space in Paris

In Paris, the outdoors is never just an extension of the indoors.


It is a conquest, a breath of fresh air, sometimes even a discreet privilege. When the warm weather returns, long balconies, rooftop terraces, rooftops, and houseboats reappear like fragments of freedom, suspended above the city.

The continuous balcony, a signature feature of Haussmannian architecture

First appearing in the 19th century, the continuous balcony is more than just decoration. It gives rhythm to the façade, unifies the building, and creates a continuous line between interior and exterior. Its ironwork displays craftsmanship, floral motifs, arabesques, and unique designs, intended to be seen from the street as well as enjoyed from inside the apartment. 



In spring, these balconies become open-air stages. A few chairs, some plants, a book left lying around. Paris invites itself in at eye level.

Gaining perspective, in a different way

Even rarer, terraces and rooftops offer a different perspective on Paris. Here, the city can be discovered in silence, at dawn or during the golden hour. The rooftops, domes, and stone lines compose an almost abstract landscape, where one can appreciate the historical depth of the capital.


These suspended outdoor spaces have become living areas in their own right, designed for entertaining, contemplating, and escaping without leaving the city.

Living to the rhythm of the Seine

More unexpected, the barges offer a unique relationship with the outside world. Here, the terrace becomes a deck, the light reflects off the water, and Paris slowly passes by.

A rare, almost meditative way of life, where spring can be felt in the movement, the reflections, the sounds.

In Paris, each outdoor space tells a different story about how to live in the city.

Spring as a revelation

With the return of sunny days, outdoor spaces become essential. They extend living areas, transform uses, and restore a sense of time.

In Paris, owning a balcony, terrace, or rooftop is not an ostentatious luxury, but a quality of life that is intimately linked to the built heritage.

Private gardens, the rarest luxury


In Paris, private gardens are the exception. Hidden from view, often invisible from the street, they are a world apart, a place of retreat and continuity with nature. Whether it is a private mansion garden, a secluded condominium garden, or a landscaped area adjoining a garden-level apartment, it offers an almost unsuspected quality of life.


In spring, these gardens become living refuges. The light is lower, filtered by the foliage. The sounds soften. Time slows down. You no longer look at Paris, you settle in.


In these preserved places, architecture dialogues with vegetation. Stone, iron, and classic lines find a natural counterpoint, reminding us that Parisian luxury is often expressed through restraint and discretion.
