Exceptional Residence – Porte Dauphine, History and Elegance
There are addresses that need no introduction. This is one of them.
From 1953 to 1963, Édith Piaf lived here, on the ground floor of this elegant Haussmannian building in Paris’ 16th arrondissement.
Her final ten years — the most intense, the most turbulent, the most radiant.
Within these walls, renowned composers would gather around the grand piano. Here, she loved, she grieved, she created. Here, songs were born that would become timeless.
Today, this soulful residence is offered for sale.
The apartment boasts generous volumes, enhanced by abundant natural light and remarkable ceiling height — timeless hallmarks of Haussmannian architecture.
It offers a rare layout: a residential area comprising a living room, three bedrooms including a master suite, and multiple bathrooms; as well as a separate space suited for professional use, featuring offices, a kitchen, service area, and loggia. The property opens onto a private, secluded garden.
Designed as a true place to live and create, the property benefits from mixed-use designation (residential and professional), offering a level of flexibility rarely found in this location.
The building, part of a well-maintained co-ownership of 137 units, is financially sound, with no ongoing procedures or shared debt, and is managed by a professional property manager.
Just moments from Porte Dauphine and the Bois de Boulogne, the setting is defined by its discretion, quality of life, and proximity to several diplomatic institutions, including the Ambassade de Russie en France, contributing to a particularly secure and preserved environment.
A commemorative plaque on the façade reminds passersby that La Môme once lived here.
Tomorrow, it will be yours to carry its legacy forward.
