Independent Real Estate Consultant with megAgence 7 years of experience License No. CPI 7201 2016 000 005 715
Bonjour! I’m Jeanne, an independent real estate consultant with megAgence. I work with Chinese-speaking and international clients on property purchases, sales and investment opportunities across France, particularly in Paris, Lyon, Annecy, the French Alps and the South of France, while also assisting with property projects in other regions depending on my clients’ needs.
I have lived in France since 2003 and began working in real estate in Paris in 2019. Living in France for many years has given me a deep understanding of the French way of life, administrative system, business culture and property market. Over the years, my work with Chinese-speaking and international clients has also given me a strong understanding of the challenges they may face when navigating the French property market in a different language and cultural environment.
My approach is based on clear communication, transparency and personalised guidance. From understanding your needs and selecting suitable properties to viewings, negotiations, transaction coordination and the notarial process, I aim to make every step as clear and efficient as possible.
I believe good real estate service goes beyond completing a transaction. It is about integrity, responsibility, sound judgement and trust. My goal is to understand each client’s perspective, help them make informed decisions and be a trusted real estate advisor they can rely on in France for the long term.

Paris offers very different lifestyles depending on the arrondissement. Whether you're looking for a long-term investment, a family apartment or a prestigious address, these are among the most popular districts chosen by international buyers.
One of Paris' most prestigious residential districts, the 7th arrondissement is internationally recognized for its elegant architecture, quiet streets, and iconic landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower. It remains one of the most sought-after areas for overseas buyers looking for long-term value.
The 7th arrondissement is particularly attractive for buyers seeking a prestigious Parisian address rather than high rental yields. Properties are scarce, demand remains consistently strong, and many buildings feature classic Haussmann architecture. While purchase prices are among the highest in Paris, the district offers exceptional stability, making it a popular choice for long-term investment, family wealth preservation, or a luxury pied-à-terre.

It is particularly well suited to those relocating to France or planning to live in Paris for several years.

Stretching across parts of the 3rd and 4th arrondissements, Le Marais is renowned for its preserved medieval streets, elegant mansions, and vibrant cultural scene.
