The town centre of Sens brings together the two halves of the historic core, which the statistical boundaries separate into an eastern sector and a western sector. They sell at the same price and form a single district in daily use. Four street references have been checked here by point-in-polygon: the Grande Rue and rue de la Grosse-Tour to the west, rue Thénard, the best-supplied street of the sector with one hundred and twenty-three transaction lines, and the passage de l'Église-Saint-Prégts to the east.
The western part is the oldest. Rue de l'Épée, rue de la Grande-Juiverie, rue Jean-Cousin, rue de l'Écrivain and the passage de l'Écu draw a medieval fabric of half-timbered houses there. That is where the Saint-Étienne cathedral stands, the first of the great Gothic cathedrals of France, along with the synodal palace and the covered market of 1882. The eastern part, around rue des Déportés-et-de-la-Résistance, rue de la République and boulevard du Mail, is later and more commercial.
The district sits at 1 706 €/m², at the level of the communal average, on fifty-eight apartment sales a year. That is by far the leading volume in Sens, close to a third of the transactions of the commune. Its range is the widest in the town, from 1 334 to 2 032 €/m². It gains 9 % over five years and stays stable over twelve months.
The centre of Sens is the district where the market is made. Fifty-eight apartment sales a year, close to a third of the commune, and one hundred and fifteen transactions over the last two vintages: it is the most solidly established price in the town. What sells here runs from a flat in a half-timbered house to a nineteenth-century investment building, hence the widest range in Sens, from 1 334 to 2 032 €/m². In an old fabric, the condition of the property accounts for most of the spread, far more than the street. Studios come out at 1 843 €/m²: rental demand is carried by the station, a few minutes away, and by the services of the centre. The points to watch are parking, which is scarce, and the energy performance of a stock largely built before 1948.
The average price in Centre-ville is 1 706 €/m² for an apartment (actual DVF transactions, notarised sales), within a range of 1 334 to 2 032 €/m² depending on the building, the floor and the condition.
It occupies the historic core, around the Saint-Étienne cathedral, the synodal palace and the covered market. The Grande Rue, rue de l'Épée, rue de la Grande-Juiverie and rue Jean-Cousin form its medieval part; rue Thénard, rue de la République and boulevard du Mail the eastern part, which is more commercial.
Because the building stock there is old and unevenly renovated. Half of the sales take place between 1 334 and 2 032 €/m², the widest range in the town. A flat in a restored half-timbered house and a home needing complete renovation sell here at unrelated prices, sometimes on the same street.
Yes. Work on Saint-Étienne opened around 1130 under archbishop Henri Sanglier, and pope Alexander III consecrated it less than thirty years later. It precedes the great Gothic cathedrals that followed it, and its treasury is one of the richest in France.
No, it is the third. Les Maillots shows 1 909 €/m² and Les Sablons 1 729, against 1 706 for the centre. The centre is on the other hand incomparably deeper in volume, with fifty-eight apartment sales a year against eighteen in Les Maillots: its price rests on the broadest sample in the town.
