How it all began...
Bonjour et bienvenue!
With a British architect father and a French interior designer mother, I grew up to apreciate interior design, in a bilingual and bicultural background.
Having lived in London, Los Angeles and Sydney, but living in Paris, I was keen to start a business serving English-speaking clients in the French capital. When I stumbled upon the short-term Paris rental market in 2000, I was captivated. I would build a business at the junction on real estate, tourism and interior design, serving Anglo-Saxon clients in Paris!
Although the short-term rental concept was a great idea, the market was full of so-so apartments that didn't excite me. Nobody on the market was offering finely selected apartments of high visual appeal and charm. I knew I had found my niche!
I designed and built a website, made sure it showed up in the search engines and tested the idea by renting out my own home (I would move back into the big family apartment when my own apartment was booked!). I was soon contacted by other owners asking me to represent their own apartments, and the whole thing has grown organically since, on the strength selecting only the best and of positive word of mouth.
Today, I'm lucky enough to have a great team to work with, dedicated to constant incremental improvement of the company and the service.
Thanks for reading and I hope to welcome you soon to Paris!
