There is a certain magic that lingers in the South of France. The Côte d’Azur, with its sunlit ports, secret coves, and the fragrance of Provence carried by the sea breeze, has long been a haven for those seeking la dolce vita. Here, mornings begin with fishermen returning to quaint harbors, afternoons drift away along terraces shaded by olive trees, and evenings glow with the reflections of superyachts in Saint-Tropez or Cannes.
To own a home here is to own a piece of Mediterranean poetry — a sanctuary where nature, culture, and elegance blend effortlessly.
Yet, the story of French luxury living would not be complete without Paris.



If the Riviera is where life slows down, Paris is where it sharpens, quickens, and dazzles. Cross the Seine and discover two distinct worlds: the historic grandeur of the Left Bank with its aristocratic hôtels particuliers, intellectual salons, and leafy boulevards; and the Right Bank, with the timeless elegance of the 8th, the glamour of the 16th, and the architectural treasures of the 17th.

Here, every street whispers a legend, every façade tells of centuries of refinement.
For the discerning investor, the Riviera and Paris are not rivals but reflections of one another — two expressions of the same French art de vivre.
In 2025, Paris remains a sanctuary of stability: while prices in the capital’s most coveted districts have shown resilience, rarity continues to drive value.



The 7th arrondissement, anchored by the Eiffel Tower and Les Invalides, sees price tags often exceeding €20,000 per square meter.
In the 16th and 17th, where classic Haussmannian façades stand proud, investors find both long-term security and excellent rental demand from the city’s thriving international community.

So here we are, unable to resist turning the pages of an extraordinary catalogue that speaks the language of Parisian stone. A symphony of dark marble underfoot, golden details and soft beige tones… Once the apartment of Pierre Balmain, within the prestigious “Diamant sur le Parc” residence in the 16th arrondissement. Just look at this beauty.

Tucked away in the heart of the Antiquaires district, on rue des Saints-Pères, lies a rarity — a golden gem of design. Karl Lagerfeld once left his mark here, later reimagined by Pauline Leprince with serene, wellness-infused touches. Almost paradise, I dare say. A jewel waiting to be discovered.

Back in the 16th, an elevator carries you straight into the stars. By night, beneath its rooftops, the Eiffel Tower greets you with a sparkle; by morning, it offers unforgettable breakfasts overlooking the Iron Lady and the timeless monuments of Paris.
And one more touch… the property also includes a charming studio on the landing — perfect for surprise guests, or for teenagers dreaming of their first taste of independence.
Step inside, and discover this apartment.

Owning across these two worlds — a villa overlooking the Mediterranean and a pied-à-terre in the heart of Paris — is not just diversification. It is the definition of privilege, of living within two icons of beauty, culture, and heritage. Few advisors understand this duality as well as Magrey & Sons, a house that has become synonymous with excellence on both shores. Whether guiding a family toward a discreet hôtel particulier on the Left Bank, or unveiling a sea-view villa in Cap d’Antibes, Magrey & Sons brings unmatched expertise to the art of rare real estate.
