Émile Garcin Biarritz, a passion for beauty

Proposing properties of character whose rigorous selection is based on architectural quality, prime locations, authenticity and charm, such is the DNA of Émile Garcin agencies. In Biarritz, it is with discretion, attentiveness and courtesy that Valérie Paris and her team orchestrate wonderful new scenarios each day in this magnificent region. Interview with a woman of taste, both passionate and professional.

“The worlds of communication and real estate require the same taste for customer contact, a certain creativity and, above all, fast responses,” confides Valérie Paris when questioned about the similarities between her former and present career. With a keen eye for esthetics, this former company director, a great fan of architecture and interior decoration, found with Émile Garcin in Biarritz, a world dedicated to beauty in a magnificent setting. Offering a portfolio of meticulously selected houses and apartments, the Émile Garcin agency associates luxury and the fine art of living with homes in privileged locations, rousing genuine emotion. “It is always with a certain pride that we propose a property with rare characteristics. At Émile Garcin, the concept of luxury is not based on financial criteria. A charming studio worth 150,000 € has its place in our collection just as easily as a large property with magnificent architecture and a price-tag of 10 million euros.” Notions of exclusive mandates and bespoke service lie at the heart of the values of this agency which, under the leadership of Valérie Paris, chalked up 2018 turnover 15 % higher than that of 2017. “Biarritz is still an address synonymous with casual chic. Mostly French, our clients are looking for a seaside lifestyle in which everyday life is lived in a carefree way, without the need for a car. We take the time to get to know each of our clients in order to offer them a home in keeping with their budget, in which they can see themselves immediately. Love at first sight… That is my goal, as buying and selling a property is first and foremost an affair of intuition and the heart.”
