The project
Enjoy the sea and the green,at the heart of Ostend.
Petit Paris is rising on Koninginnelaan in the Belle Époque district of Ostend. The North Sea and the Royal Galleries connect with the Japanese Garden, the Thermae Palace, Princess Stéphanie Park and the tennis club. Living between city, park and sea.

An address whose value has been proven for decades,and that will carry that value into the decades to come.
