A partner recommended by his colleagues and clients

Having worked with Mr. Jean for many years, I can confidently attest to his legal acumen, professionalism, and dedication to client success.

Clients seeking to invest or purchase property abroad will find in Mr. Jean a trusted advisor who understands the importance of safeguarding their interests while helping them make informed decisions. He is proactive, detail-oriented, and above all, deeply committed to protecting clients' assets and goals across borders.
I wholeheartedly recommend Christophe to anyone considering international real estate purchases. His expertise, integrity, and client-first mindset make him an invaluable partner in navigating global property markets.

 "I had the pleasure of working with Christophe during a difficult time of loss of my spouse and soon after his grandmother. As an American who spoke little French, Chrisophe put me at ease with his knowledge of the real estate I was handling and translated everything to me in English. His communication was prompt and clear. I highly recommend him."

"I am pleased to give a very positive recommendation for Maitre Jean. I have been his client for approximately 20 years during which time I have owned a property in Paris. He has been a steady source of support in dealing with French taxation and registration laws and all aspects of owning property in France. Maitre Jean is perfectly bilingual English-French and extremely knowledgeable in all matters regarding foreign property ownership in France. My opinion is that it is really impossible for a non French citizen to navigate the French property ownership system without professional advice and Maitre Jean is a seasoned professional in the field and a pleasure to work with."

I have had the great pleasure of working with M JEAN for nearby 2 decades. He helped my husband and me buy and sell properties in Paris and Brittany. When my husband passed away unexpectedly a few years ago, M JEAN worked with me and my US attorney settle his estate. He subsequently guided my daughters and me through succession planning for our remaining property. In addition, he manages my annual French income tax filing. M JEAN is responsive and easy to work with and exhibits a high level of professionalism. I speak limited French, but that is not a problem. He is fluent in English. For Americans interested in locating in France, M JEAN will be a valuable asset. I highly recommend him.

I have dreamed of owning an apartment in Paris for more than 25 years. When I chose to start looking, I thought I knew the area where I wanted to be. When I gave Christophe my criteria, he took me to an area that I do not know called Le Marais. Christophe nailed it! Not only was that area everything that I was asking for, but he knew all the interesting details that made it even better - a secret garden here, a small museum there, etc. Our adventure through this district exceeded all of my expectations. I am more motivated than ever to have Christophe help me find a place in the near future. Christophe definitely knows Paris!

More than a property. A projection of yourself.
