Where to buy in Paris?


If I want to invest in Paris, where can I see a good capital appreciation in the future? The rental market is very good, provides stability if well managed, and yields over 4%, but what about the gain to make when it comes time to resell in 2 years, 5 years or fifteen years at the term of the mortgage?

This month we explain you why the 1st district is a good bet,read the blog

PARIS  news


Paris full of projects



Paris is a living city full of projects. The street is changing, the pathways are enlarging, there has been many new cyclists since the introduction of the velib by the Mayor of Paris since July 2007, now a similar system with a sort of street-car called the Autolib has just been implemented.


Paris new local developments



There are many new local developments in different areas of Paris, Les Halles and La Samaritaine in Paris 1st arrondissement, Place de la République, the Duo tower development in Paris Rive Gauche. Find out about all these developmentshere.

The walking experience



When we compare London which is a city close to my heart as well, one of the striking differences is the ease to move around the city in a short time by foot or by bicycle in Paris. It’s true that London had its street-car before Paris, and now has its own street-bicycle scheme, but you just don’t walk from Notting Hill to Oxford street as you can walk from Rue de Rivoli to St Germain des Près or Montmartre. The walking experience is very different, the street feels much more walker-friendly in Paris than in London when you want to change neighbourhood
just like that.

LONDON news


In Le Figaro dated March 13 - 2012: we understand that London is the tax haven for rich Italians and the Greeks. Since the begining of this year, 7.2% of the buyers are Italians with an average of €2.4M per acquisition, when the Russian buyers who represent the second nationality in terms of foreign buyers spend €5.8M on average per acquisition.


Prices have risen by 11% over one year span to February 2012. Is the mansion tax not released yet going to have an impact on prices?
