A dark parisian visit, for Julien There are days when real estate decides to test our limits. Our client of the day: Julien, CEO of a major French group, accustomed to quick trips to Paris, board meetings, and the various apartments he already owns in the capital.

What Jules wants is to stop spending obscene amounts of money renting dream villas every summer. He wants his own. Something like the one he rented in July… but also a bit like last year’s… and of course with his own twist. Well—mostly Nathalie’s twist.

Properties change hands discreetly through exclusive insider networks before ever being visible on the conventional market. Let’s explore five European destinations where the rarity of properties combines with the agility of top real estate experts to help their clients find their future slice of paradise.
