BOULOGNE-BILLANCOURT (92100) – 121 m² apartment with 137 m² terrace, set on a houseboat, with views over the Seine and Parc de Saint-Cloud, peaceful, unique, just minutes from Paris.

A unique and historic floating home moored at the autonomous port of Boulogne-Billancourt, just by the Pont de Saint-Cloud. This exceptional concrete-hull houseboat was originally commissioned in the 1950s by the polar explorer Paul-Émile Victor to demonstrate the capacity of floating concrete to support heavy loads. It was later used by the army’s health services for decompression chambers before being converted into a residence and divided into two independent apartments.
