Stays

A suite for a week, a residence for a season.

A palace suite or an apartment with hotel services, the right neighbourhood for a family, the driver, the doors worth opening. We advise and we introduce; hotels, residences and drivers are engaged and paid by you, directly.

Palace suite or serviced apartment?

Dining room opening onto the salon of a Paris apartment, travertine table and lit oak shelving Salon with tall windows, cream sofas and panelled walls

Homes

A home to rent, or to keep for good.

The apartment you rent for a posting or buy for the next generation. Very often it is a Haussmann apartment: tall windows, mouldings, parquet, a suite of reception rooms. It remains what we know best.

What we do

Three ways we work with clients.

i.

Buying in Paris

You describe the life you want in Paris; we turn it into a brief, search the open market and the private one, visit for you, film what matters and present a short selection. We then stay beside you through the offer, the notaire and the handover.

How buying works
ii.

Selling discreetly

Some owners would rather have their apartment shown to the right person than displayed to everyone. We prepare a proper file, present it privately to qualified buyers and their advisers, and work hand in hand with licensed agencies and your notaire.

iii.

Residences for a season

Families, executives and houses in fashion, art and sport come to us for a Paris residence for a month, a season or a posting. A short, relevant selection, a bilingual file for each home, and one person who answers the phone.

Method

Four steps, one point of contact.

  1. BriefA conversation, in English or French, about how you will use the home: who lives there, how often, what you will not compromise on. We write it down and you approve it.
  2. SearchListed and unlisted properties, through agencies, notaires and owners we know. We visit first so that you only travel for homes worth the flight.
  3. SelectionA short list, each home with its plan, a continuous video walk-through, the building's records and our honest view of its faults.
  4. CompletionOffer, preliminary contract, notaire, financing, handover. We coordinate the professionals and keep you informed in plain language.
