This property is on the market for €3,900,000, listed with Emile Garcin.

This distinct turquoise facade features a frieze of elephants and is originally from pavilions of the Exposition Universelle of 1900.

There’s an air of exoticism in Cité du Figuier, a cobbled cul-de-sac with palm trees and an ancient fig tree after which it was named.

The tiny working class village is set in one of the liveliest districts in the capital, the Oberkampf neighbourhood in Paris, and is known as the green paradise of the 11th arrondissement.

The converted painted studio offers 4 bedrooms across 2906 square feet, and comes with garages and storage, as well a 2 bedroom workshop on the first level.
