Paris 8e, Île-de-France
Île-de-France · Paris
The world’s most famous avenue crosses the 8th from east to west, but the arrondissement lives mainly in its side streets: the faubourg Saint-Honoré, the parc Monceau and the Europe quarter around Saint-Lazare station. Two markets in one, record surfaces, 84 sqm on average, and one of the lowest densities in Paris.

Paris 8e at a glance
01The market
In 2025, 755 sales were recorded in Paris 8th: enough to choose from, never enough for the finest addresses.
The median for apartments has moved -5% since 2021 and +1.2% over one year: a market correcting, address by address.
Sales range from €8,300/m² to €23,600/m²: address and condition make the price.
The median stands at €12,300/m², but the range says everything: from €8,300 to €23,600/m² for half of the sales. The prestige of avenue Montaigne and the faubourg Saint-Honoré lives beside the more affordable Europe quarter, where Haussmannian buildings kept genuine rental flats.
755 sales in 2025, up 1.2% over one year, for an average time to sale of 45 days. Surfaces, 84 sqm on average, are the largest of the first ten arrondissements: offices long nibbled the residential stock, and conversions create atypical floor plates families snap up.
Vigilance concerns co-ownerships mixing offices and homes, whose charges split differently, the noise of the main arteries, the Champs-Élysées first, and the real metro coverage: between the parc Monceau and the Europe quarter, not everything is equal.

02The neighbourhoods
The world’s most famous avenue and, three streets away, a Paris of station and offices: the 8th plays on two boards.
The axis, the arch and the palaces built for the 1900 Exposition universelle: very little housing on the avenue itself, more in the neighbouring streets, up to the parc Monceau.
Around the Saint-Philippe-du-Roule church and the Élysée palace, jewellers, galleries and private mansions: expensive discretion, next door to Place Vendôme.
Around the temple and the great boulevards, couture houses, famous food addresses and office floors: a quarter alive by day, calmer by night.
Set on Saint-Lazare station, the Europe quarter gathers Haussmannian buildings and recent conversions: the 8th’s clearest surface-to-price ratio, two steps from the department stores.
The village of Le Roule and its cobbled streets keep quality buildings away from the crowds: double reception room, caretaker, cellar. To entertain and to live, with attention to floors and voted works in standing co-ownerships.
Between Parc Monceau and place de l’Étoile, the large family flats of the early twentieth century: four bedrooms, staff quarters, a lift to every floor. The most stable segment of the 8th, untouched by short cycles.
Top floors of the avenue and the rond-point: roof terraces with views over the Arc de Triomphe or the Eiffel Tower. Rare, world-disputed properties, to be assessed with the state of the waterproofing and the terrace use rules.
Three buying profiles to place your own in Paris 8th. Orientation pointers, which your property finder refines with you at the brief.
Hesitating between two neighbourhoods in Paris 8th, or between an apartment and a house? Home Select compares them for you, sale by sale and on video pre-viewings, before having you travel.

03Living and buying
The parc Monceau organises Sundays: alleys, pushchairs, the bandstand and the nearby museums. The rest of the time, the quarter beats to offices and the avenue’s shops, and empties in the evening.
On the Europe side, Saint-Lazare station puts the western suburbs a quarter of an hour away and the department stores of boulevard Haussmann five minutes on foot: an office position turned residential, restaurants and gyms included.
Three projects, three markets
The 8th sells representation: avenue Montaigne, the faubourg Saint-Honoré, cut-stone buildings around the Parc Monceau, with the largest average surfaces in Paris. Demand comes from French and international fortunes, as residents and as inheritance. Each noble floor is a special case: Home Select briefs on charges, works and the co-ownership’s history before the offer.
The 8th is the kingdom of the discreet pied-à-terre: a flat closed eleven months a year behind a porte cochère, reopened for Parisian weeks and the sales of nearby place Vendôme. Conciergerie, security and parking belong in the brief. Supply being narrow, the fine addresses are taken before the listings.
Settling in the 8th always surprises: behind the avenues, the Europe quarter and the streets by the Parc Monceau live like a village, schools and shops on foot. The Parc Monceau serves as a garden and the métro rings the arrondissement. Families who find a large surface never leave: family supply is structurally scarce.
04From abroad
The 8th rests on two major nodes: Saint-Lazare, one of the busiest stations in Europe, served by lines 3, 12, 13 and 14, and the Charles de Gaulle Étoile, where line 1 meets RER A towards La Défense within minutes. Lines 2 and 9 cross from the Europe quarter to the Champs-Élysées, line 13 runs by Miromesnil. Roissy and Orly stay half an hour from the centre via lines B and A. A buyer arriving from London or Amsterdam by train steps off at the Gare du Nord and reaches a hotel on the Faubourg Saint-Honoré within a quarter of an hour.
The consular arrondissement par excellence: embassies and delegations around the Faubourg Saint-Honoré, airline headquarters on avenue Montaigne, and the American Cathedral on avenue George V anchoring the English-speaking community for a century. International executives rent before buying, mixed families aim at the Monceau sector for its schools. The average floor area sold reaches 84 square metres, a Paris record: what is bought here are reception flats that foreign tax residencies seek first, often accompanied by Home Select.
Seven hundred and fifty-five sales a year: the most fluid of the expensive arrondissements, with an average selling time of 45 days. Fashion weeks and large congresses fill the hotels and slow travel, without denting the buying season: spring and the September restart dominate. Terraces and top floors go in summer, when owners show the panorama at sunset. Negotiation plays on floor, view and the state of the co-ownership, rarely on the quarter itself.

What negotiation weighs
Home Select is paid 100% on success: nothing is due until you have bought.
Living on the Champs-Élysées resembles no other address, in glamour as in noise; three streets either side recover the classic Parisian calm, at a different price.
A half-office, half-residential building follows different charge and works rules: the co-ownership’s make-up reads in its regulations and latest minutes.
Champs-Élysées, rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré, boulevard Haussmann: visit at rush hour, windows open, before committing to a price.

09Your project
The questions common to every city (purchase costs, remote search, choosing your finder) are gathered on one page: all the frequently asked questions.
Because the local market has its own rules. 84 sqm on average: the largest sold surfaces of the first ten arrondissements. A property finder works for you alone, on the buyer’s side: daily monitoring, access to off-market sales, strict shortlisting and negotiation. Since 2011, Home Select has run more than 1,200 searches with this method, rated 4.8/5 on Google.
Based on actual recorded sales (DVF / DGFiP via data.gouv.fr, April 2026 release, 2025 sales), the median price in Paris 8th stands at €12,300/m² for an apartment. These medians are market benchmarks, not an appraisal: the address, the floor, the condition and scarcity make the final price.
The median stands at €12,300/m² on 2025 sales: a 40 sqm one-bedroom trades around €492,000, and half of the sales fall between €8,300 and €23,600/m² depending on the quarter and the building.
Europe buys floor area and connections: Haussmannian buildings, the station within reach, more reasonable prices. The Roule pays for the address: calm, prestige, rare surfaces. The medians do not compare, and neither do the projects.
In 2025, 755 sales were recorded in Paris 8th: enough to choose from, never enough for the finest addresses. The median for apartments has moved -5% since 2021 and +1.2% over one year: a market correcting, address by address.
Home Select completes its searches in 45 days on average, with 3 viewings on the client side instead of 40 and about fifteen hours of your time. In Paris 8e, the exact calendar depends on how rare the target property is: it is framed at the brief, then held.
Through the network and direct approach: Home Select receives more than 100 properties every day from its 15,000 professional partners before they go on sale, and also contacts owners when the setting calls for it. In Paris 8e, the monitoring starts with two sectors: Champs-Élysées, then Faubourg-du-Roule. That is often where the unfindable property is.
Yes, but less densely than average: many offices, institutions and hotels, for 35,123 residents. Residential life concentrates around the parc Monceau and the Europe quarter, discreet and alive.
Monceau pays for the park, the schools and the fine façades; Europe pays for the station and reasonable surfaces. Both sell fast when the price is right, 45 days on average.
For daily use, no: four metro lines and Saint-Lazare station suffice. Prestige buyers often insist on an underground space, which counts at resale.
On a stock 65% predating 1919: electrics, plumbing, parquets and kitchen upgrades, with standing charges to fold into the monthly budget. We cost everything before the offer.
Home Select, a property finder in Paris 8th, charges 2.5% of the net purchase price (minimum €10,000 incl. VAT) on the Exclusive offer, or 1.5% on the Confidential offer for projects of €2m and above. Home Select is paid on success only: nothing is due until you have bought.
