WEALTH BUILDING
Rare Properties, Lasting Legacy
We identify France's most exceptional properties, rare acquisitions selected not only for their beauty, but for their real upside, and give our clients privileged access to them.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF INVESTMENT
Not Every Acquisition Is About Yield
Prestige Resale
Some are about owning something extraordinary: a pied-à-terre in the Marais, a villa above Cannes, a Belle Époque apartment steps from the Promenade des Anglais. Properties that are, by definition, scarce, that do not appear on public listings, and that require the right relationships to access at all. This is the market Louis Properties was built for.
For high-net-worth individuals looking to diversify beyond equities and build a tangible, euro-denominated patrimony, French prestige real estate offers something no financial instrument can replicate: beauty, permanence, and the quiet confidence of owning something that will outlast market cycles.
Discover MorePrestige New-Build
In new-build, the greatest gains often come down to timing. We track prestige programs from the moment they enter commercial launch, before the developer reaches its Completion Guarantee (GFA) threshold, the point at which the program opens to full-scale sales. This early window is when prices are at their lowest.
Buying at this stage secures a prestige new-build property at its floor price, with appreciation that is close to guaranteed within the roughly two years to delivery, simply because you entered the program at the very beginning.

ACCESS TO THE RARE
The Finest Properties Are Rarely Sold Publicly
They change hands through trusted networks, between people who know each other. Our relationships with developers, notaires, and private sellers across Paris, Lyon, Nice, Cannes, Saint-Tropez, and Bordeaux give our clients access to opportunities that never reach the open market.
We identify. We vet. We negotiate. You decide.
FINANCING YOUR ACQUISITION
Cash Moves Fastest, But It Isn't The Only Way
Cash buyers move fastest in this market, and we are structured to support them. But for clients who prefer to preserve liquidity, French banks offer mortgage financing to non-residents on prestige properties, typically requiring a 20% down payment.
Financing a trophy asset in euros means your capital works harder. You retain flexibility. And over time, the asset appreciates while your equity compounds.
WHEN YOU'RE NOT THERE
Ownership Does Not Have To Mean Vacancy
For clients who wish to monetise their property during periods they are not in residence, we coordinate access to a curated network of high-end rental and hospitality partners. Every option below is discreet, optional, and always on your terms.
Each partner in our network is selected for one reason: they treat your property as if it were their own, from rigorous guest screening to full property care between stays, so your asset remains in pristine condition and your guests leave wanting to return.
Short-Term Prestige Rentals
Placement on select platforms such as Vrbo or Airbnb Luxe, chosen according to the standing of your property, for guests seeking a discreet, high-end stay.
Full-Service Property Management
Ongoing management entrusted to a prestige real estate agency, from tenant sourcing to day-to-day upkeep, so your property stays in expert hands year-round.
Exclusive Event Rentals
Private hire for weddings, photo and film shoots, or corporate receptions, generating income without committing to a long-term tenant.
Long-Term Executive Leasing
Furnished leases to executives and diplomats on international assignment: reliable, long-term tenants who value discretion as much as you do.
