In Paris, certain locations go beyond the simple concept of a place. They tell a story, embody a heritage, and offer a sought-after quality of life, where architecture, culture, and lifestyle come together in everyday life.
From the intellectual charm of Saint-Germain-des-Prés and the Faubourg Saint-Germain, to the prestigious, secure avenues of the Golden Triangle, to the monumental vistas of the Trocadéro via Avenue du Président Wilson, each neighborhood has a unique identity shaped by several centuries of history.
Through a selection of properties located in the 6th, 7th, 8th, and 16th arrondissements, Magrey & Sons invites you to discover these renowned addresses. A journey through the heart of these neighborhoods, where each property is part of a vibrant and appealing heritage.
The Left Bank: The Timeless Elegance of the 6th and 7th Arrondissements
Since the 17th century, the Faubourg Saint-Germain has epitomized Parisian refinement. As the aristocracy gradually left the Marais to settle there, they had majestic mansions built, many of which still form part of the capital’s architectural heritage today. During the Restoration and throughout the 19th century, the neighborhood became a refuge for supporters of the Ancien Régime, the nobility, and the Court. The high society that emerged at that time cultivated a very exclusive social and political life, centered around prestigious salons where family alliances dictated trends. This understated elegance remains one of the hallmarks of the 7th arrondissement, while sumptuous private residences were built and still house major institutions today, particularly around the Palais-Bourbon and the Invalides district.
Just a few minutes away, the Jardin du Luxembourg—created in 1612 at the request of Marie de Médicis, who wanted to recapture memories of her childhood in Italy and get away from the Louvre, offers one of the most beautiful green spaces in Paris. Around Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the Rue des Beaux-Arts, and the Odéon, the Left Bank has cultivated a unique intellectual identity for centuries. The legendary terraces of Les Deux Magots and the Café de Flore, once frequented by Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, and Ernest Hemingway, these establishments stand alongside the galleries on Rue de Seine, historic bookstores, and the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts.
The neighborhood is also home to some of the capital’s finest institutions: Sciences Po, the National Assembly, the Council of State, numerous embassies, and UNESCO headquarters. Fine dining is not to be overlooked either. The luxury hotel Le Lutetia, an icon of the Left Bank, stands alongside some of Paris’s finest restaurants. This concentration of establishments contributes to the neighborhood’s reputation as both prestigious and safe. Its residential setting and discreet atmosphere further attract an international clientele seeking an exclusive lifestyle.
It is in the heart of this privileged setting on the Left Bank that Magrey & Sons offers properties on Rue des Beaux-Arts and Rue de Varenne, near the Palais Bourbon.
Few neighborhoods embody prestige quite like the Golden Triangle. Born out of the grand Haussmannian renovations of the 19th century, this area, bounded by Avenue Montaigne, Avenue George V, and the Champs-Élysées has become one of the most coveted addresses in the world.
Haussmannian architecture has interacted with the greatest French fashion houses. As for the House of Dior, Christian Dior was extremely superstitious. After stumbling upon a rusty metal star on a Parisian sidewalk, she saw it as a sign of destiny and decided to open her fashion house at that very spot. Chanel: Gabrielle Chanel opened her fashion house there, where her Art Deco staircase with mirrored railings allowed her to discreetly observe the public’s reactions during her fashion shows from the steps. Louis Vuitton, A former trunk maker who set up shop in 1854 on Rue Neuve des Capucines, revolutionized travel with his stackable flat trunks designed for travel by train and horse-drawn carriage, Saint Laurent, Yves Saint Laurent transformed fashion by launching the Rive Gauche line in 1966, the first ready-to-wear collection; Celine, founded in 1945 as a children’s bootmaker’s workshop, became one of the symbols of Parisian chic under the influence of contemporary haute couture; and Hermès, founded in 1837 as a saddlery and harness shop on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, the house has built its legacy on artisanal excellence and the “point sellier” stitching technique, which have become the gold standard.
The neighborhood is also home to some of the world’s most unique hotels: the Plaza Athénée, the Four Seasons Hotel George V, the Prince de Galles, and the Bulgari Hotel Paris, where the world’s wealthiest individuals regularly stay.
The Parisian experience continues at iconic spots such as Kinugawa, known for its refined Japanese cuisine; L'Avenue, known for its terrace where you can spot celebrities; Le Relais Plaza, known for its classic French cuisine; Le Cinq, renowned for its three-Michelin-starred gastronomy; Monsieur Bleu, with its fabulous view of the Eiffel Tower; and Le Matignon, celebrated for its festive atmosphere. Together, they contribute to the capital’s culinary reputation.
