Estate agency in central Paris, on the Right Bank. Palais-Royal · Tuileries · Vendôme · Saint-Honoré · Les Halles. Based at 18 rue Molière since 2004, 200 m from the Palais-Royal.
Our agency is at 18 rue Molière — the very street linking the Palais-Royal to the Comédie-Française. In central Paris, on the Right Bank of the Seine. Not an outlying office, not a fleeting brand: we have been here, in the 1st arrondissement, for over twenty years.
This physical presence is not incidental. In an arrondissement where every building has its history, where a mansion's courtyard is worth as much as the floor area, where a view over the Palais-Royal can double a price per m² — ground knowledge is irreplaceable. Our agents know the caretakers, the building managers and the notaries active on rues Montesquieu, Saint-Honoré, de Rivoli or des Petits-Champs.
Whether you are selling an inherited pied-à-terre on rue de Rivoli, acquiring a Haussmann apartment on the Palais-Royal galleries, or looking for a rental investment at Les Halles, we intervene with the precision that only two decades of local presence can deliver.
Six micro-markets with distinct profiles on the Right Bank, each with its buildings, buyers and prices.
The most coveted address in the 1st. The 17th-18th-century buildings bordering the galleries have no equivalent in Paris. International demand structurally exceeds supply — often off-market.
Along rue de Rivoli, apartments with views over the Tuileries garden or the Louvre courtyard are among the rare unique-view properties in Paris. Sought by international buyers.
The absolute peak of the Paris market. Place Vendôme and its adjacent streets concentrate the highest prices in the 1st, sometimes above €25,000/m².
The historic commercial and residential axis. Higher-floor Haussmann apartments offer exceptional volumes. Rues Richelieu, des Petits-Champs, Molière form the liveliest residential heart of the 1st.
The oldest buildings in the 1st — some dating from the 16th-17th centuries. Atmosphere unique to Paris. More affordable than the Palais-Royal but highly sought for character.
The liveliest district of the 1st. More accessible prices, the best gross rental yield (up to 3.5%). Ideal for a first central Paris investment.

We do not manage the 1st from an office in the 9th or 17th. Our agency is physically based at 18 rue Molière — in the same co-ownership of the 1st arrondissement since 2004.
The median price per m² in the 1st stands at €12,100/m² in 2025 (DVF DGFIP, 276 transactions). The range runs from €7,500/m² for a property to renovate around Les Halles up to over €20,000/m² around Place Vendôme and the Palais-Royal.
(1) The Palais-Royal and its galleries. (2) Place Vendôme, the peak of Parisian luxury. (3) The streets along the Tuileries on the Rivoli side. (4) The historic rue Saint-Honoré. Les Halles attracts a younger clientele and yield-seeking investors.
Yes. Our agency is physically at 18 rue Molière, 75001 Paris — 200 metres from the Palais-Royal, in the 1st since 2004. Our agents know every building on rues Molière, Richelieu, des Petits-Champs, Saint-Honoré, de Rivoli and Les Halles.
