David – A Pied-à-Terre Combining Parisian Charm with Smart Investment
Budget: €1,000,000 to €1,200,000

David is Canadian. He had long dreamed of a pied-à-terre in Paris — a place to stay for a few weeks each year, but also an asset that would appreciate over time. His search was very specific: an apartment with character, one or two bedrooms, a small balcony, plenty of natural light, an elevator, and above all… that unmistakable Parisian je ne sais quoi you can’t find anywhere else.

Together, we refined his criteria and identified the most suitable neighborhoods — particularly the 11th arrondissement on the edge of the Marais, which offers a perfect balance of central location and authenticity. We sent him three carefully curated selections, followed by three days of in-person viewings.

In the end, it was an off-market property that captured his attention. Located on the third floor with an elevator, in a well-maintained period building, the apartment featured two bedrooms, preserved charm, and required no renovation. The small balconies sealed the deal.

With two other buyers also interested, we guided David to act quickly and strategically. Just a few days later, he became the new owner — a rare gem acquired with confidence, in an area with strong potential for appreciation. A successful property hunt, blending expertise, network, and perfect timing.
