The area around Sentier metro station — a former textile district in Paris’ second arrondissement — has become a popular location for start-ups and internet companies. They value both the loft-like charm of the former manufacturing workshops, as well as their spatial flexibility and central location. The generous building at no.13 Rue d‘Uzès offers high-ceilinged interiors filled with light behind a prestigious steel-and-glass façade. Built in the 1870s, the complex consists of a front building, a no less splendid rear building and a large covered courtyard, whose glass roof construction is attributed to the office of Gustave Eiffel.
