Why choose a business address in the 1st arrondissement of Paris?

Both prestigious and typically Parisian, the 1^st arrondissement of Paris is the envy of many individuals and companies. Covering an area of just 2 square kilometers, the arrondissement offers a wide range of premises for your business, just a stone's throw from the capital's most emblematic monuments.

A narrow strip on the right bank, it is bounded by rue Etienne Marcel (to the north), rue des Petits Champs (to the south), Place de la Concorde (to the west) and the Madeleine church (to the east).

In any case, domiciling your business in the^1st arrondissement is a guarantee of seriousness and credibility, and contributes directly to increasing your customers' satisfaction.

When setting up a company, one of the first administrative steps to take is to register its registered office. This address is the company's birthplace, and must appear on all documents (invoices, quotes, delivery notes, etc.). It determines the country in which the company is taxed, its nationality, and the competent authorities in the event of a dispute.

What are the different districts of the^1st arrondissement?

The "^1er " offers a wide range of prestigious locations in which to set up your business:

• The Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois district is located in the southern part of the arrondissement. It straddles the right bank and the Île de la Cité. Most of the district is occupied by the Louvre Museum, the Tuileries Gardens, the former Palais de Justice and Place Dauphine. A large number of businesses are located around rue de Rivoli.
• The Halles district. This area was once home to Les Halles de Paris (as the name suggests - a wholesale market for fresh food products). Here you'll find the trendy Forum des Halles, and the Canopée, inaugurated in 2017. This area is home to numerous shopping streets, restaurants and malls. The La Samaritaine redevelopment project led by the LVMH group will breathe new life into the district from spring 2020.
• The Palais-Royal district, organized around this monument and its gardens. Home to the Paris Opera. This is a rectangle bounded by Rue Saint Roch (to the west), Rue Marengo and Rue Croix-des-Petits-Champs (to the east), Rue des Petits-Champs (to the north) and Rue de Rivoli (to the south). It's around the latter that you should locate your business. This district is home to high-level administrative bodies (Conseil constitutionnel, Conseil d'Etat, etc.) and cultural institutions (Comédie Française, Musée du Louvres, etc.).
• The Place Vendôme district. It's organized around the eponymous Place Vendôme, and is mostly made up of shops (often luxurious) and corporate headquarters. It's one of the capital's most sought-after locations if you're looking to set up a registered office.

Why is the^1st arrondissement so prestigious?

Real estate is rare and expensive in the 1^er arrondissement, and not all businesses are able to find premises here. Since the early 1950s, the district has been gradually transformed in favor of commercial real estate. Ninety-two percent of the real estate stock consists of older buildings.

Naturally, its prestige is high, not only because of its many historic monuments, but also because of its numerous transport links.

In addition to numerous bus routes, you'll find an RER station at Châtelet-les-Halles, allowing you to get anywhere in Paris. Five metro lines cross the arrondissement, as do three RER lines. There's also easy access to the expressways along the Seine.

The district is ideal for businesses in all sectors.
