The look is discreet, jeans and a black t-shirt. The man came to learn about the offers for apartments in Paris. Originally from the Middle East and living in London, he wants to buy near the Champs-lysées and has a budget of EUR 1 million. It is not the only one. The number of foreigners willing to invest in the most beautiful city of the world continues to climb. In the first half of 2006, according to the Chamber of notaries of Paris, they have been for 8.1 of the transactions, compared to 5.7 a decade ago. Over 30,000 to 35,000 sales in total, following the years. And yet, says master Catherine Carely, President of the real estate commission, "some buy under the guise of real estate civil society (SCI) or commercial companies, and therefore did not cover into account in these data." "Their actual weight must actually exceed the 10". Interest of the SCI, used especially for the most expensive purchases: throw a veil on the true owner, and allow it to escape from the wealth tax.
These lovers of Paris prefer that some historic neighbourhoods, not more than a decade, where they are sometimes more than one third of purchasers. The island of the city, around the church Notre-Dame, won their favour (34.3), followed by the Marsh, Church Saint-Gervais (32.6), and only in third position, from Champs-Elysées (25.5), long address the most popular. Come then SaintGermain-l'Auxerrois, next to the Louvre (20), and then the District of Grenelle (19), where, often, they are looking for a view on the Eiffel Tower.
Transactions non-standards
Beyond the intrinsic appeal of Paris, this trend is explained by price always "attractive, compared to those observed in London, New York or even Rome", said Pierre Bazaille, President of the notarial Institute of real estate. The creation of links air low-cost with other European capitals, without forgetting the Eurostar, also encouraged the Organization of regular weekends. For the more affluent, the relative security is a significant asset. "Wives can do only shopping, even those of the Middle East, while their husbands are in Switzerland or London for their business," details Marie-Hélène Lundgreen, head of Belles Demeures de France, an agency specializing in the high 70 of clients live outside our borders.
While at the national level, the British were half of foreign buyers, in the capital, are the Italians who arrive at the top (18.4), a constant for ten years. Unconditional of the Marais and Saint-Germain-des-Prés, they venture now in the 15th and 17th. Since the beginning of the year, the Americans (11.3), swear them that by the 16th, outperformed the English (10.5), that have seduced the 18th century and the 14th.
Russians represent only 1 of transactions, but they belong to a clientele of prestige which the circle is limited, with a bit of departure from average 3 million. A hotel in Saint-Germain-des-Prés has thus assigned to one of them for the bagatelle of EUR 26 million. The purchasers of the Middle East, too, are interested in the cream of the market. For several months, a confidential sale is being negotiated with a rich investor in this region. Surface: 4.000 m2 habitable and 2.000 m2 of gardens. Starting price: more than 50 million euros. These buyers outside standards focus on beautiful neighbourhoods (8th, 16th, 7th and 5th). "Their number remains stable, but they clip and have more money through the stock exchange and the stock," noted Marie-Hélène Lundgreen.

Some will refuse nothing, as this Italian who, hesitating between a near apartment in the avenue Montaigne and another with a view on the Eiffel Tower, was finally offered both for EUR 5 million. The Americans are also subject to the blows of heart. "A New Yorker was gift to his wife for his 70 years of a 230 m2 dock to flowers, on the île de la Cité, to 3 million, which was much more than expected." But girl, she dreamed of living in Paris with a view of the Seine and Notre-Dame. "Montmartre, on the other hand, was more difficult to attract them. Those that are installed already familiar with Paris. "There many English, a little of us, but familiar with French culture." Because here, custodial, parking or lift, and safety is random.
