In Nîmes, in the district of the Maison Carrée, which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, there is a 225 m² apartment on the noble floor of a 19th-century building. The building, three levels high with basements, belongs to an urban property from the 19th century that enjoys a remarkable location, bordering the Rue de l'Horloge and connecting the square of the same name to the east with the Maison Carrée to the west. The facade, set in a cobbled street of the historic center, is coated in light yellow and features architectural elements from the 19th century typical of the Restoration. The elevation is organized in a classical sobriety, crowned by a cornice with modillions and rosettes, which overlooks another cornice, simply molded, a level lower, and a very simple floor band at the even lower level. It is punctuated on the first floor by four tall, slender bays with windows of bluish metal frames, large panes, and double glazing, glass transoms of the same materials, stone framing, and pilasters. The windows on the service floor are smaller, and their framing is quite modest. Finally, the roof, as is customary in the region, is made of canal tiles. On the ground floor, the street-facing facade, oriented to the north, is centered on an imposing entrance door flanked by two bays that house a renowned florist and a hairdresser. The two leaves of the door, made of solid oak aged by time, are marked with molded panels and equipped with bronze knockers. They fit into a semicircular arch framed by a limestone stonework, a signature of an architecture that is both simple and elegant. Above the door, a glazed transom protected by a wrought iron grille displays its radiant sun motif; a beautifully crafted artisan work and an ornament that reflects a time when access to the residence had to be both secure and ceremonial. The path to the noble floor, where the apartment is located, is made by a wide staircase with stone steps. Its wrought iron railing features balusters with remarkable neo-Gothic motifs in pointed arches, a typical design from the 19th century, and a handrail in patinated oak.
