Why is it appealing to invest in Paris? According to the latest tourism office figures, Paris is the number one tourist destination in the world with 27 million tourists per year.
A lot of tourists prefer to stay in rented accommodation if they are there going to be staying for several weeks or months as it works out cheaper than staying in a hotel.
With a population of over 2 million inhabitants, many Parisians prefer to live and work in the centre of Paris as they spend less time travelling to work (some people spend 4 hours commuting every day).
Due to so many tourists and Parisians renting property in the capital, the rental property market in the centre of Paris will always remain strong.
If your property is well located and in a good condition you can easily rent it out.
A few years ago there was a joke from The Guignols on the Canal+ channel (the English equivalent is the Punch and Judy Show) which showed a landlord asking for an endless list of documents to be able to rent an average apartment in the centre of Paris (it was intended for adult's eyes only!) To conclude Paris is the best place to invest in France as there will always be people wanting and needing to rent property.
It is the world's 5th largest economy and has been one of the top host countries of foreign investment for many years.
Centrally located in the heart of the country and Europe, Paris can offer a skilled workforce, a high quality of living and competitive business advantages.
It is a mature investment market that can guarantee good yields for the future.
