Our entire childhood was rocked by the very well-earned reputation of Rue de la Paix as being the most expensive in France thanks to the game Monopoly. If it remains one of the most expensive, it is actually not THE most expensive. We tell you everything!
The real estate market in France continues to fluctuate. If since the start of 2024, we feel that a drop in prices is beginning, it is nevertheless still considered insufficient in the face of the excessive loss of purchasing power of households in France. However, even if real estate still remains difficult to follow in France, it is a subject that still fascinates the French. Proof of this is the television success of shows of this type like House for sale or The Agency on Netflix.
It is in this context that the site Bestagent has just revealed its ranking of the most expensive streets in France and surprise! Even if in everyone’s unconscious, Rue de la Paix (thanks Monopoly) remains the most expensive in our country, in reality this is not the case at all! The only common point is that the most expensive street in France is also located in our beloved capital: Paris.

A small village in the heart of Paris, it takes its name from Cardinal Guillaume-Egon de Fürstenberg, abbot of Saint-Germain-des-Prés in 1967, whose German name was Frenchized.
