Colorful family loft near central Paris in a renovated factory
We are now open to exchange offers for summer 2026.
Note that, since our 3 daughters go to school, it's strictly impossible for us to organise an exchange outside of the school holidays.
Our place is a five minutes walk from the subway station "Mairie d'Ivry" on line 7, which connects you directly to major areas in the city in 10 to 20 mins (Latin quarter, le Marais, Louvre Museum and the Opera...). You can also easily reach central Paris with the RER C line (we're only one station away from "Bibliothèque François Mitterrand"), or using the Velib' bike station right in front of the house entrance.
Our family of 5 lives in a large (150m2/1600sqft) loft set in the middle of a former factory. On the ground floor are the dining/living room (with wifi internet access), the kitchen (fully equipped with dishwasher), the laundry room (with the washing/drying machines), a small bathroom and separated toilets. On the first floor are the parents bedroom (with a double bed), a second larger bathroom (with a shower and a bath), a children room with adult sized bunk beds (and a third single bed that can be pulled out from under the bunk beds) and another bedroom (with a single adult sized bed that can be opened into a double bed)... On the second floor is our oldest daughter bedroom (with one adult sized single bed).
Right outside of the loft are a terrace and a large common garden where children spend their time running around in summer. On a sunny day you can have lunch on the terrace and relax under the shade of the trees.
The loft is located in the "Manufacture des oeillets", a beautiful brick factory that was renovated some 30 years ago, which hosts artists workshops, a modern art centre, a theatre and an architecture and design school. Next to our home is the city centre with all the facilities you need : shops, library, a movie theatre, the swimming pool, and of course subway stations bringing you directly to major places in Paris.

About the neighborhood
We live in Ivry sur Seine, an old quiet neighborhood on the south-east border of Paris. Ivry is very family friendly and it is also extremely well connected to central Paris. Our place is a five minutes walk from the subway station "Mairie d'Ivry" on line 7, which connects you directly to major areas in the city in 10 to 20 mins (Latin quarter, le Marais, Louvre Museum and the Opera...). From the RER C station "Ivry sur Seine", which is a 10 mins walk from our place, you can reach directly Notre Dame, the Orsay museum and the Eiffel tower. You can also use busses and bikes (there is a velib' rental station in front of the entrance of our building) to reach central Paris from Ivry.
There are also many shops nearby (amongst which a supermarket for organic products), and a market for fresh products three times a week.

A nice and large appartement that stays cool in the middle of summer thanks to AC ! The location near the river is very practical as you can easily reach the old city center by bike.

A very original, light, surprising and impressive loft house in an architecturally interesting, urban part of town just outside the Peripherique. This family is very sweet and welcoming. Their home with its nice shared garden is an excellent base to explore Paris, just 6 mins walk from the metro. The photos give a good impression of the house.
Très bon contact avec la famille avant l'échange. La maison est ravissante et parfaitement conforme à l'annonce.
