Maps show it as a green spot because of the Square Hector Berlioz. The apartment's balconies & shutters open onto the square overlooking the trees. A quiet haven in the most Parisian of neighborhoods: Montmartre and Pigalle (named after Jean-Baptiste Pigalle, a 19th century painter and sculptor).
This completely renovated full floor condominium of 1300 sq. ft.  is airy, bright, private and conveniently located. It is four flights up and has no elevator. The building is turn of the century with an interior courtyard and an iron gate entrance. Retaining its Èpoque original charm, it is now
complemented by all the modern necessities. It is extremely well located to all transportation such as the metro, buses, taxis and with easy access by cab to the Roissy-Charles- de Gaulle airport.

Short History:
Most of the buildings in the 9th arrondissement were built in the 19th century under a grandiose redevelopment plan by Napoleon III. Most of them are stone buildings, still in good shape and do not require demolition. The last big urban development was the achievement of the Boulevard Haussmann in 1927. It seems it's a duty now to maintain the architectural aspect of the 9th district so its history and its charm may be kept. The Paris Urban Planning division require architects to preserve the old facades or to renovate and rebuild in the same style as of the past century. The mixed use of real estate in the 9th arrondissement goes back to 1823 when it represented the core of Paris's domestic and international economic exchanges, at a time when banks and insurance companies elected this district to become their headquarters.
