Why it is here
Knight Frank’s Paris Insight (Junot / Notaires) puts city prime at €22,730/sqm (+12% since the pandemic start), with 7e €32,360, 8e €28,700 and 16e €23,780. Savills’ wider basket is €18,300/sqm / $1,980 psf (Dec 2025). PGCI +1.5% YoY to Q1 2026. Savills France (Jul 2026): H1 apartment deals above €10m already exceed full-year 2025; three hôtel-particulier trades above €30m. New-build completions run under 2,000 homes a year. International demand is real; so is the DPE rental ban and ~8% purchase-cost stack.
Who it is for
European and cross-border families who want a Left Bank or 16e hôtel or turnkey apartment they will actually occupy.
