In this preserved town on the Right Bank, the house is arranged on one level, without a single step: an entrance leads to a bright living room extended by a conservatory opening onto the garden, an open-plan kitchen ideal for family meals and entertaining, a utility room, a separate toilet and a central hallway providing fluid access to all the rooms.
