Own a Piece of Paris: A Fractional Apartment in the Central Marais

If you’ve always hoped to own a pied-à-terre in Paris but your budget is limited, the good news is that you can still make that dream a reality. With this Marais fractional ownership opportunity, you can spend several weeks each year living in a beautifully designed Paris apartment that you partially own — without the cost or complexity of full ownership.

We’re delighted to share a new chance for HiP Paris readers to own a piece of Paris: Maison Rivoli, a refined Marais apartment just steps from rue de Rivoli, moments from the Seine, Notre-Dame, and the historic heart of the city.

Enjoy your own home-away-from-home for up to four weeks each year — morning runs to the market, fresh baguettes and croissants from the neighborhood boulangerie, afternoon walks along the river, and apéros with charcuterie, wine and cheese with friends. Maison Rivoli makes Paris not just a vacation destination, but a recurring part of your life. Shares are priced from the low $200K’s (USD), but availability is limited. Contact us at info@hipparis.com and read on for more information.

What Is Fractional Ownership?

Fractional ownership allows multiple people to share ownership of a beautiful Paris apartment. Each individual holds a real equity stake.

Rather than buy a property you may only use a few weeks each year, you own a percentage of the home and enjoy guaranteed usage annually. You share the ongoing costs with other owners.

Fractionals are not the same as timeshares. Unlike a timeshare, fractional ownership entails true ownership of the property. You have the potential to benefit from long-term property appreciation when you sell. The apartment is professionally managed and cleaned, meaning a hands off experience for you.

As short-term rentals become more and more restricted in Paris, fractional ownership has become increasingly popular as a way for international buyers to own affordably in the city.
