A couple reportedly purchases an old property in France described as a former “drug den” for €155,000. Multiple outlets say the site is later renovated over a period of about 16 months and converted into a luxury townhouse. The reporting characterizes the renovation as transforming the former building into a residence with features such as air conditioning and a private garden. Across the sources, the same core details appear: the purchase price of €155,000, the property’s prior reputation as an illegal drug location, and the length of the renovation work. The accounts emphasize the change in the property’s use and condition, presenting the renovation as a full refurbishment rather than minor upgrades. The articles do not provide details that allow confirmation of the property’s prior status through official records, nor do they specify the exact location within France, the parties’ identities, or the renovation contractors. Overall, the coverage focuses on the reported acquisition and subsequent redevelopment timeline and the resulting amenities described for the finished townhouse.
