Yes, for a few years now, prices have been rather falling (or at least stagnating) in the capital, but in certain neighborhoods, apartments are being snapped up at gold prices, to say the least, completely crazy prices. The site SeLoger-Meilleurs Agents has just revealed its list of the priciest streets in Paris, and let me tell you, it’s quite astonishing.

Yes, in Monopoly, rue de la Paix is the most expensive street in Paris, but in the real world, the reality is quite different. So, which street are we talking about? SeLoger - Meilleurs Agents asked this question, and the surprising result is that rue de Furstemberg, nestled in the heart of the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district, breaks all records, with an average price of €23,087/m² (compared to €24,272/m² last year, and €9,418/m² on a Paris-wide scale). Thanks to this lovely amount, it becomes the most expensive street in Paris, and also in France.


A super charming setting

At the same time, let’s be honest, we can understand the appeal of the area. This little street, divided by a charming central square, is a key part of Paris’s cultural history. Beyond its typically Parisian buildings and its...

Alme (despite its touristy location), she saw Claude Monet, Jean Anouilh, and even Eugène Delacroix, a painter whose national museum is actually right in the middle of the street.

On top of that, this spot is a celebrity of the 7th art, as it appears in many films, including The Age of Innocence by Martin Scorsese, The Apartment by Gilles Mimouni, and even Fantastic Beasts. Yes, for those in the know, this is where you can find the entrance to the French Ministry of Magic, and we strongly suspect that wizards are jacking up the prices just to keep things quiet.

All these elements give it a great reputation today, even internationally, as it’s just a few minutes away from two of the most famous Parisian cafés, namely Le Café de Flore and Les Deux Magots.

The 6th District in Full Force

On the podium, we also find the Quai des Orfèvres (1st), the most expensive street in France two years ago, which still holds its second place this year. In this street, which housed for years the general management of the police prefecture at number 36, the price per square meter rises to €23,054. It's worth noting that on this very quay, in 2022, the daughter of Pablo Picasso bought a 290 m² apartment for the modest sum of €21,500,000, which translates to… €74,000/m².

To complete the top 3, we find Avenue Montaigne, the only address in this top 10 to be located in the 8th, with a price cap of "only" 22,584 €/m². Indeed, while it’s no surprise that the most expensive addresses are not in the 19th or 13th, we do notice that they particularly concentrate in 3 districts of the capital: the 1st, 4th, and 6th, which together represent almost half of the streets.

Prices are getting more and more outrageous in these few streets, a phenomenon that can mainly be explained by the scarcity of properties. Thus, if 4 of the streets are located along the quays of the Île Saint-Louis or the Cité, it’s no coincidence. With few buildings, limited traffic, and close proximity to some of the most monuments of Paris, it didn’t take much to make prices skyrocket in a totally disproportionate way.


A top 10 to avoid at all costs

To wrap things up, we invite you to explore in detail the 10 most expensive streets in Paris. Unless you're a multimillionaire, it's probably more of a warning to steer clear of these places than anything else. But since it’s always okay to dream, feel free to indulge in a bit of real estate eye candy while watching L'Agence, we promise it will bring you some joy!
