Airbnb management in Paris
France's most lucrative market, and its most tightly regulated
The world's leading tourist destination, Paris commands nightly rates unmatched anywhere else in France. It is also the city with the strictest rules, and the one where ignoring them costs the most.
120
nights a year, the cap for a main residence
20
arrondissements, each one a distinct market
12 months
of demand, with no off-season
The Paris rules, in plain English
Under French rules, a main residence cannot be let for more than 120 nights a year, and the registration number must appear on every listing. A second home needs a change of use authorisation, which in Paris comes with a compensation requirement: in other words, converting commercial space into housing elsewhere in the city.
The platforms automatically report the number of nights to the City of Paris. Going over the cap is not a gamble you might get away with: it shows. Fines run to tens of thousands of euros.

What we do in Paris, and what we don't
We have no team in Paris. That means we will not do the cleaning or the check-in and check-out inspections, and nobody from Mesra will come to open the door for a guest who is locked out. Saying so from the start avoids any misunderstanding.
Everything that can be managed remotely, however, is: an optimised listing on Airbnb, Booking.com and Abritel, prices adjusted every day, automated messages in each guest's own language, synced calendars and tracking of your income. You keep your usual cleaner and we take care of the rest.
When demand peaks
Paris has no off-season. Spring and September lead the way, carried by tourism and trade fairs.
Busiest month in Paris: September. Quietest: January. An indicative spread of demand, to give you a sense of scale. Your personalised estimate, on the other hand, is built on real booking data for your area.
The areas that perform best
Not every neighbourhood earns the same, and the income gap between two addresses in Paris is often wider than you might think.
Le Marais and Bastille
The area most in demand with international guests, with rates to match.
Montmartre and Pigalle
A huge draw for tourists, although the old buildings can sometimes make logistics tricky.
Saint-Germain and the Latin Quarter
Older guests with bigger budgets, who often stay longer.
Canal Saint-Martin and the 11th
The best balance between purchase price and income, and a firm favourite with returning guests.
Your questions
Only if it is a second home with change of use authorisation. For a main residence, the limit is 120 nights a year, and the platforms monitor it automatically.
No. We have no team on the ground. You keep your own cleaner, and we look after the listing, pricing, guests and calendars.
Here, you stay in control
We have no team on the ground here, and we would rather tell you so upfront. You stay in charge of your property, while our platform, our automations and our support team take on everything that can be done for you.
