It takes around 7500 euros per square metre

In the past well high families, it spoke to table policy or religion. It is the same with real estate. The question whether the proximity of a place of worship interferes on the marketing of a dwelling, the most common response takes the form of a long silence. Subject to respect for his anonymity, an agent is willing to give his testimony: "most of the customers are not the issue." Others are able to walk to the Agency. But some fear however to live near a place of worship that is under attack or being potentially at risk. There is always an anguished of service, the same will also refuse to stay near the Embassy.

In contrast, side price, all agree that the price of housing reflects essentially that of the surrounding area. With sometimes a period of prolongation of the transaction, or even a light negotiation if the property is in the immediate perimeter of the building of worship, not necessarily for reasons of security but because the noise; as the sound of bells on Sunday morning at the exit of the mass tinte happily to the ear, as those of the Angelus, and Vespers or the égrènement of hours can irritate or even depress.

Or religious buildings, the France is in no shortage. Nothing in the capital, should mention Notre-Dame, the great mosque, the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, known as the Russian church. Paris also has number of synagogues and Protestant temples. But that quote as emblematic buildings There are the synagogue of the paved Street, in the 4th arrondissement. Built on the plans of the architect Hector Guimard, it is classified. And those known by its location, street Tournelles, in the District of the Marais, the old Jewish quarter of the capital. At the temples, it is not spectacular monument if not that of the oratory, rue Saint-Honoré.

With such expansion, it is well unlikely find somewhere completely foreign to the influence of a religious building. Those whom the bourdon of Notre-Dame doesn't bother can throw their vest on the vicinity of the Cathedral. With patience, however, because the buildings occupied by the police prefecture, the Palace of Justice, the tribunal de Commerce and the Hôtel-Dieu significantly reduce housing on the island of the city.

On the side of Notre-Dame, street of Arcole displays apartments haussmanniens, the gap with breakthrough at the time of the prefect while streets Ursins, Chanoinesse or Dove remain still some very old houses belonging to families who do not want to dispose of it either foundations. Result, as noted by the estate agent Emmanuel de Poulpiquet, specialist of the market in the centre of the capital, "transactions rely on the fingers of a hand and are at a lower price than the île Saint Louis, so that the sector is made noisy tourists cars, ambulances, police cars". Lower prices Mean by this that they traded that to... 10,000 euros per square meter!

Notre Dame lovers can cross the river and in the 5th arrondissement to the Seine of an apartment located on the docks of Montebello or de la Tournelle. Tourists are fewer, but especially the view of the famous rose window is breathtaking. Las, if it is not price, it has a cost. According to Patrick Planchet, bargaining in the notarial study Panhard-Dauchez, "must be build between 12,000 and 14,000 euros per metre square for a property in good condition".

In the 5th but neighbourhood Monge, the edge of the great mosque show another face of the borough. The building built between 1922 and 1926 in a Moorish style with its minaret of 33 metres is part of the local landscape, between the Faculty of Jussieu and the garden plants. The call of the muezzin is now integrated in the daily "rites" of residents. "The presence of the mosque reflects neither desire nor rejection of purchasers wanting to live in the sector." "The great feature of this is the fact that the housing stock consists primarily of small surfaces", said Guillaume Monge agency Feau Boutin. It takes around 7,500 euros per square metre. Rue Linné, an apartment of 38 square meters sold 290.000 euros and street in the ditches-Saint-Marcel, a 34 square metres to 245.000 euro. Largest, it is more rare and therefore more expensive, with street from the Grill, a 85 square meters party 785.000 euros, or rue Buffon, a 110 square meters with terrace of 14 square metres from 900,000 euros.

Synagogues and temples

Before being a trendy, the Marsh is originally a neighbourhood where gathered, as early as the 12th century, the Jewish community. And the epicentre is the sector of the street of roses with including the paved Street, where one of the synagogues. For Emmanuel de Poulpiquet, familiar as the Marsh, "those who live in the sector do care not for the presence of any synagogue." This doesn't interfere and with absolutely and that this might upset are likely to be interested in this sector. "Those who come to this area of roses and Saint Paul are often looking for small units. They serve more home to housing. Customer is essentially composed of foreigners, French living abroad or provincial. With prices that revolve around 10,000 euros per metre square for apartments located in old buildings of the 17th century.

Another coveted area, the place of Vosges and its immediate surroundings, close to the synagogue de la rue des Tournelles. There, apartments displayed large surfaces, from 150 to 200 square metres, and are sold, for the exceptional price blow of heart around 15,000 euros per square metre.

That said, synagogues do are not located only in the Marsh. They are, such as churches, scattered throughout the capital. One of the flagship sectors today is the 16th arrondissement North with including the rue Copernic synagogue, renowned as the most liberal. In this golden triangle radiating around the place Victor-Hugo (Avenue Kléber, Bugeaud, Poincaré), bonus is given to large apartments. "The apartments of the sector are sought by families who can take between 90 and 140 square meters and who may also wish to live near the synagogue," observes Berenice Miliotis group IFC Victor-Hugo. Among the recent transactions, a 90 square metres in a stone building, rue Copernic, removed to 765.000 euros. Or, place Victor-Hugo, 86 square metres to 725.000 euros. And rue Hamelin, this 140 square metres sold 1.05 million euros, but to cool.

Back to the centre of Paris, in the 1st District, near the temple of the oratory, rue Saint-Honoré. "Not really targeted applications on the edge of the temple, said Remy Schoenewald, of the Urban-R company, but a market that runs between 7,000 and 8,000 euros per square metre for property around the streets of the Louvre, Jean-Jacques-Rousseau and Saint-Honoré. In closer the Palais-Royal, prices rise to exceed 10,000 euros per square metre if the view is.

Other buildings such as the Russian Cathedral Alexander Nevsky, rue Daru, which is its 5 bulbs shine Golden in the Parisian sky or the American Anglican Church, avenue George V, are also part of the landscape. "But on these niche markets that are the proximity of the Park Monceau or the Champs-Elysées, the purchase of a well placed home prevails more often," Note Berenice Miliotis. And must be at least put 8,500 euros per square metre.
