Who is high-end rental in Paris aimed at?
Jean de Gouvion Saint-Cyr: Our clients fall into two main categories. First, corporate clients from companies such as Bank of America or L'Oréal seeking apartments for their expatriate employees in France for three-year assignments, with rents ranging from €2,000 to €10,000. Above €10,000, the clientele is primarily private, often North American, choosing to settle in Paris for a few years with their children to provide them with a European-style education, particularly in Yvelines, which is renowned for the quality of its international schools.
Do you offer short-term rentals?
Yes, this is a service we introduced at the request of our private and corporate clients, for durations ranging from one to six months. Our goal is to facilitate the relocation of professionals to Paris who may not have had the time or opportunity to secure a long-term property, either to buy or rent. It is therefore a temporary solution before a longer-term move. This also applies to families, often from abroad, who choose Paris at the start of the school year and similarly face a temporary housing search with tight scheduling constraints.
You have also developed a property management service…
With our 20 offices across central Paris, Hauts-de-Seine, Yvelines, and Val-de-Marne, we offer clients bespoke support, guiding property owners from valuation to rental, and, if desired, full property management. This provides peace of mind, as they have a single point of contact — one of our 50 French and international consultants, all at least bilingual.
How is the Paris luxury rental market shaping up in the second half of 2025?
The rental market is defined by three forces: tension, digitalization, and efficiency. Tension, because it suffers from low turnover: demand for rental properties continues to rise while supply has dropped by 15% compared to 2022, creating an unprecedented imbalance. Digitalization, as new technologies have become central to the client relationship. While consultants remain key in guidance and advice, service operations are now fully digital. Efficiency, finally, because in this highly dynamic market, even a slight adjustment in rent can make an apartment quickly secure a tenant.
What makes Paris attractive to international clients?
The current global uncertainty strengthens the appeal of the Paris real estate market, particularly for clients keen to provide their children with a high-quality education. Paris remains a reference like never before and attracts for its art de vivre!
