Yes, for a few years now, prices have been quite low (or at least stagnant) in the capital, but in certain neighborhoods, apartments are being snapped up at gold prices, to say the least, completely outrageous! The site SeLoger-Meilleurs Agents has just revealed its list of the most expensive streets in Paris, and let me tell you, it's pretty mind-blowing.

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 the question, and the result is that it’s Rue de Furstemberg, nestled in the heart of the Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighborhood, that is breaking all records, with an average of €23,087/m² (compared to €24,272/m² last year, and €9,418/m² across Paris). With this lovely sum, it becomes the most expensive street in Paris, and also in France.


The Loveliest Setting

At the same time, let’s be honest, it’s easy to see the appeal of the area. This tiny street, divided by a charming central square, is a must-see in the cultural history of Paris. Beyond its typically Parisian buildings and its c... alme (despite its touristy location), she witnessed Claude Monet, Jean Anouilh, and even Eugène Delacroix, a painter whose national museum is actually located right in the middle of the street.

On top of that, the place is a celebrity of the 7th art, as it appears in many films, including The Age of Innocence by Martin Scorsese (1993), The Apartment by Gilles Mimouni (1996), and also Fantastic Beasts. Yes indeed, for those in the know, this is where you’ll find the entrance to the French Ministry of Magic, and it’s highly suspected that wizards hike up the prices just to be left alone.

All these elements give it a great reputation today, even internationally, since 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 is Strong

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

To complete the top 3, we have Avenue Montaigne, the only address in this top 10 to be located in the 8th, which is priced at "only" 22,584 €/m². Indeed, it’s no surprise that the priciest addresses are not found in the 19th or the 13th, but they do concentrate particularly in 3 districts of the capital: the 1st, the 4th, and the 6th, which account for almost half of the streets all by themselves.

So, prices are soaring for these few areas, mainly due to the scarcity of properties. For example, 4 of the streets are along the quays of Île Saint-Louis or Île de la Cité, and that's not by chance. Few buildings, limited traffic, and proximity to some of the most visited monuments make these locations even more desirable.

grands monuments of Paris, this was more than enough 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 discover in detail the 10 most expensive streets in Paris. Unless you're a multimillionaire, this is probably more of a reminder of places to avoid at all costs than anything else.
