Notre avis d'expert sur le 8th arrondissement de Paris

Paris’s 8th arrondissement has little appeal for Parisians: not enough shopping, not enough “luxury” spirit, too many tourists between the Champs-Elysées and the department stores.
Oriental customers, on the other hand, are historically attached to this area, particularly the “golden triangle”: Champs-Elysées, Montaigne, Georges V.

Families are attracted to the Europe-Monceau area, with its large housing units and favorable school conditions.
The area around Saint-Lazare is gaining in value with the renovation of the station and the arrival of numerous shops, not to mention the transport hub.

To unearth even more high-potential properties, your Paris region apartment hunter recommends the Europe arrondissement, which is undergoing radical change with the arrival of local shops.

Que devez-vous savoir avant d'acheter dans le 8th arrondissements ?

A prestigious arrondissement par excellence, it is crossed by the Champs-Elysées avenue and the Concorde. It is above all a business arrondissement, with few residential units, as evidenced by its density of inhabitants per square kilometer: around 10,000, the lowest in Paris. Public transport is particularly well developed, with the hub around Saint-Lazare accentuating the strong demand for business at the expense of residential. It’s also fairly easy to get around by car, thanks to its wide arteries, with the notable exception of the area around the Saint-Lazare train station.

Marked by the hustle and bustle of the Champs-Elysées, the rest of the arrondissement is rather quiet. Local shops are rare in some areas. Unsurprisingly, the architecture of the buildings is harmonious, following Haussmannian precepts. Large apartments have been preserved, with a quarter of the homes being 5 rooms or more, a Paris record. Conversely, dwellings with 2 rooms or less are rare. The area is also home to many famous private mansions (Elysée, Beauvau…).

Quels sont les différents quartiers de Paris 8 ?

Champs-Elysées

The capital's showcase, brought to life by the “most beautiful avenue in the world”, as Parisians like to say. It's an area rich in monuments: the Arc de Triomphe, the Obélisque de la Concorde, the Petit and Grand Palis, the Pont Alexandre III. It also includes the famous “golden triangle”, so sought-after by wealthy foreigners.
Faubourg du Roule

Numerous offices and corporate headquarters rub shoulders in this low-key shopping arrondissement. Powerful institutions can also be found here, including the Chamber of Commerce and Industry on avenue Friedland, in a magnificent building listed as a historic monument. An architectural gem, the Saint-Philippe-du-Roule church was built between 1774 and 1784 by the King's architect, Chalgrin.
Madeleine

Situated between avenue des Champs-Élysées and rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré, this arrondissement is home to numerous embassies and art and luxury boutiques. The eponymous church, a symbol of the arrondissement, was transformed into a temple to the glory of the French armies by Napoleon Bonaparte.
Europe

Popular with families for its peaceful Parc Monceau, its proximity to Saint-Lazare is an added bonus for getting around Paris and its western suburbs. The arrondissement's most residential arrondissement, it is also prized for its renowned colleges and lycées. Note the 24 streets named after European capitals, with the Place de l'Europe at its center.

A bit of History

The Seine once covered a large part of the 8th arrondissement. The gradual retreat of the river led to the emergence of vast marshlands. In the Middle Ages, the northern part of the marshes was drained to make way for cereal growing and later fruit and vegetable production. In the early 17th century, Marie de Médicis had a tree-lined alley built in line with the Tuileries garden, following an axis that enabled horses to go hunting in the Saint-Germain-en Laye forest. At Louis XIV’s request, gardener “Le Nôtre” extended this perspective towards the summit of the Butte de l’Etoile. This avenue would later become the Avenue des Champs-Elysées.

Louis XV was responsible for the magnificent square to the west of the Tuileries gardens: “Place Louis XV” was named after him, before being renamed “Place de la révolution” in 1792 and “Place de la Concorde” in 1795. It is linked by a bridge to the “Conseil des Cinq-Cent” (today’s “assemblée nationale”) in the 7th arrondissement. The Age of Enlightenment also saw the development of town planning, with sumptuous mansions and gardens. Among these was the Hôtel d’Evreux, built in 1720 and later renamed the “Hôtel de l’Elysée”, which became the residence of the French presidents in 1879.
