GLOBAL FEELING ABOUT THE ATELIER AND THE BUILDING
The loft will accommodate one or two persons in a Queen bed. The unit is a 50m2 (540 square feet) loft duplex, truly ideal for a couple or an executive on business trip. It’s an authentic old “atelier d’artiste” and all the flats in the building are ateliers too. When entering the building a mosaic in Latin dedicated to all the artists that stayed here welcomes you: “DOCTIS PICTURAE SCULPTURAE IUDICIBUS SALUTEM”. The walls of the hall had been sculpted by one of the former resident artist. It’s all the artistic and cultural heritage of Montmartre you will feel in this Parisian building of the XIXth century!
In the atelier itself, a very old oak floor keeps the memories of this past. Even if the atelier has been completely renovated and modernized, we kept its original charm. When we design the apartment we created different spaces, each with its own atmosphere, maintaining the feeling of a unique open space.
Located at the second floor, it is very bright. There is no real opposite building as massive trees hide them. The huge window (6 meters high) flows the natural light in and combined with fresh white paint and oak floors give the apartment a peaceful ambiance. The view through the window is fascinating. When looking up, you only see trees, sky and rooftops. When looking down, you dive in the city life of the animated boulevard!
TWO FLOORS FOR YOU TO ENJOY
Downstairs is an open fully equipped kitchen separated from the living room by a specially designed table/bar. The living room is furnished with design contemporary furniture, including a massive and highly comfortable sofa. The walls features artworks from some French and European contemporary artists.
Upstairs, there are 4 areas: bedroom, bathroom, toilets and a typical French “boudoir” (a reading/relaxing corner) with a classic French sofa, perfect to rest in the afternoon while reading a book with a coffee. The bedroom is absolutely fantastic. Facing the window you will open the curtain in the morning and discover a living city at your feet. You will definitely feel very much at home in the charming and stylish furnished Duplex.
THE PERFECT LOCATION TO DISCOVER PARIS AND HOW PARSIANS LIVE...
Moreover, this place is a perfect base to visit Paris. The loft is located in what has recently becomes the trendiest neighborhood in Paris: So-Pi (South of Pigalle) and borders the 18th. This location benefits of all the activities of the two surrounding touristic areas (monuments, beautiful spots, typical shops and restaurants). Northeast lies the typical old Montmartre district. East is “Anvers”. From there you will be able to reach the basilica by the cable car only 150 meters away from the flat. Northwest is the Abbesses district, the one where the movie “Amelie” took place. There is a wonderful market on rue Lepic and rue des Abbesses, just a short walk from the apartment, where you will find numerous boulangeries, patisseries, fresh fruits, fromageries and much more. Smell the aroma of the freshly roasted coffee, enjoy croissant and baguette! West is the Moulin Rouge and the theatre district of Pigalle, just 5 min walk away. South lies the famous rue des Martyrs with all its typical and delicious restaurants, cafes and small trendy shops. Still South at 20 min walking distance (or 7 min by metro) are the “Grands Magasins”, the ultimate experience of French fashion shopping.
EASY TRANSPORTATION TO REACH ALL OTHER INTERESTING SPOTS IN PARIS
Transportation is easy. Anvers station stays at 3 min walking distance. From there you’ll reach the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs-Elysée in less than 10 min by metro. Pigalle station, on the other side, is at 5 min. From there you’ll reach the Opera, la Place de la Concorde in less than 10 min. Most interesting spots may be reached in 15 min. You may also choose to cycle using the new Parisian "Velib System". Cycles are parked in front of the loft. Every other districts of Paris are just a few subway stations away.

Map & Owner's Profile
Romantic & Easy Location for Charming & Luxurious Duplex Loft
Year Purchased: 2008
Why the Owner Chose Paris Arrondissement 9
After a few years spent overseas, we were looking for the perfect unit in the perfect district. This is how started our story with the "Atelier Bochart" and why we immediately felt in love with this authentic artist loft, full of history and located across the border of the two more exciting and beautiful districts of Paris: the trendy 9th for its luxe and the old 18th for its authenticity and history. Moreover as we both work in different areas of Paris, the proximity of major transportation lines was a mandatory. Most other Parisian spots may be reached in 10 to 20 min.
The Unique Benefits at this Duplex Loft Apartment
All the building is made of former artist’s lofts. As soon you go through the doorstep of the building you feel the Montmartre's history. Once in the apartment itself, the huge window (more than 6 meters high!!!) gives you an unrealistic feeling, as if you were in some kind of cathedral. When looking up, you only see trees, sky and rooftops. When looking down, you dive in the city life of the animated boulevard! With this unique volume, the Atelier was the perfect place to expose a part of our art collection. The walls features artworks from some French and European contemporary artists. What’s unique about the atelier’s location? The most difficult when choosing a flat in Paris is to choose between different districts where you would be more than happy to live. But we found the solution: a flat located both in our two preferred districts: the romantic Abbesses and the trendy 9th arrondissement, and located just a few metro stations away from all the other interesting spots.
One of the most beautiful small parc in Paris with an incredible view of the Sacre Coeur.
The best place to feel the romance of the 19th century in Paris
10mn by metro to reach the station that takes you straight to London or Bruxelles with the Eurostar
The station that takes you straight to Normandy and Deauville, only 10mn from the flat
The place where all the luxurious brand are: Cartier, Tiffany, etc... the perfect place to find your wedding ring!
Owner's Map of Paris Arrondissement 9
After spending a few years overseas (Australia, Taiwan, Spain and Finland), we finally came back to Paris. We are an art lover couple, but we both have another professional activity. My wife held a position at one of the most famous French luxury brand and I am working in the advertising industry. Passionate about Paris, we now want to share our experience with other travelers.
