The Paris real estate market
The Paris real estate market is extremely dynamic, attracting keen interest from both French and foreign clients. Its clientele is international and diverse, including customers from the USA, Brazil and several European countries such as Italy, Luxembourg, Switzerland and Ireland.
The VIth arrondissement is popular with a French clientele made up of families living in the area and provincial clients looking for a pied-à-terre several days a week. Although real estate prices in Paris are relatively high, the market has not seen any significant increases in recent times. The Saint-Germain-des-Prés district is particularly popular in Paris.
The majority of customers are enthusiastic about the idea of living in a Parisian apartment in a typical Haussmann building, decorated with moldings and period parquet flooring, equipped with a fireplace and balcony, and enhanced by luxurious common areas and a janitor.
Paris: history and heritage
The history of the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district dates back to the time of the Saint-Vincent abbey, founded in 543 by Childebert I, son of Clovis, on the orders of Bishop Germain. On his death, the abbey became known as Saint-Germain-des-Prés church, marking the birth of the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district. From the 17th century onwards, the district became a mecca for the literary world, welcoming many renowned writers. Illustrious figures of French culture such as Marguerite Duras, Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir frequented the area. In the 19th century, writers such as Racine, Balzac and George Sand found themselves here. Painters such as Delacroix, Ingres and Manet, as well as actors like Mounet and Sully, also contributed to its renown.
During the 20th century, the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district saw the emergence of great literary cafés such as Les Deux Magots, Le Flore and Lipp, now emblematic of the area. The district grew rapidly and became a reference point for theater and music with its many jazz clubs, attracting the likes of Samuel Beckett, Jean Cocteau, Picasso and Charles Aznavour. Saint-Germain-des-Prés has also become a mecca for luxury and fashion, home to major names such as Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Cartier, Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche and Sonia Rykiel, as well as numerous designer boutiques.
A stroll through the district's charming alleyways offers a unique experience. Numerous cafés and Michelin-starred restaurants offer picturesque views of the banks of the Seine. Among the emblematic places, the Guy Savoy restaurant, run by the Michelin-starred chef, is considered one of the best in the world, offering an exceptional culinary experience behind the scenes of the Monnaie de Paris. The Tour d'Argent, meanwhile, is a historic landmark in the 6th arrondissement.
With its global reach, the agency's networked approach offers numerous advantages for customers. In favor of lasting customer relationships, the team is committed to building trust and long-term satisfaction.
