“Charlotte Whitaker, a Chicago attorney, dreamed of buying a pied-à-terre in Paris for nearly 30 years. She decided to look in earnest when the euro softened against the dollar last summer, and closed on this 800-square-foot apartment last December. Ms. Whitaker said she found her designer through Vingt Paris, which helps nonresident clients buy, sell and renovate property.”

Susie Hollands, chief executive of property company Vingt Paris, is sceptical that there will be a significant change in the northern part of the arrondissement. “What people have to understand is that these areas have been in gentrification mode for probably more than 10 or 12 years already. Gentrification doesn’t happen as quickly as it does in London or Brooklyn.”

“If you’re wealthy and have time on your hands, where else would you want to spend some months of the year? It’s a perfect European base, with sensational art and architecture and fantastic restaurants on every corner.”

“House hunters are back in the city and they want a small, chic apartment in a fashionable street.”…”Susie Hollands says the €500,000 to €1 million sector is especially active. ‘Supply is limited because everyone, from international buyers to domestic downsizers, wants compact (807 sq ft), two-bedroom apartments for under €700,000 for a pied-à-terre. We have not seen offers at these asking prices for years.'”
WHICH HOLIDAY PROPERTY TRIBE DO YOU BELONG TO?

“The mairie sent 60 inspectors into the popular Marais district to announce potential fines of €25,000 [£17,700] if owners carry out short-term lets,” says Susie Hollands, of VINGT Paris, the luxury estate agency.
CHIC AND CHEERFUL

The Marais is still the most fashionable district in Paris, and this one-bedroom apartment on rue de Tournelles is perfectly placed to see the city at its most chic (Paris fashion week is based nearby) and historic.
