Since 1924,
Three generations have followed on from one other to develop a nationwide network specialising in the sale of characterful edifices. The Patrice Besse group is made up of around 200 consultants, supported by 13 regional managers throughout France.
Each of these consultants is trained at our in-house training centre: École Patrice Besse. Their training here combines Culture and Commerce, the twin pillars of our business.
Culture is one of our pillars because of the history and architecture of the edifices we handpick, whether chateaux, manors, townhouses, city homes, vernacular dwellings, religious buildings or ruins.
Commerce is our other pillar because our purpose is to understand, analyse and value these properties so we can pass them on to their new owners in the best conditions.
Throughout France
Both in towns and the countryside,
chateaux, open-plan city apartments, historical
dwellings, designer homes, manors, priories, hunting
grounds, watermills, fortified farm complexes, winegrowing
estates, homes of famous people, stud farms,
mansions, city houses, presbyteries, farmhouses, chalets,
townhouses and farming estates: such is our collection
of over 1,000 properties, handpicked by our regional
consultants who enrich our range of properties for sale
each day.
Inside Paris or near Paris As a follow-up to our successful provincial “tour”,
we have extended our main activity to include a Parisian
division: flats, mansion houses, buildings, pied-à-terres,
townhouses, open-plan and artist studio flats.
Our agencies are situated:
Left Bank: 7, rue Chomel, 75007
Right Bank: 2,rue Titon, 75011
Île Saint-Louis: 18, rue Budé, 75004
International Architectural heritage knows no borders. Neither does our passion. Fincas, casale, cottages or Bauernhäusern, we travel the world in search of properties with soul, those that time has given a patina, and that history has chosen to preserve.
Our agency is the first in France to be internationally decorated for its work. The IIPP, International Institute for Promotion and Prestige, presented their “International Recognition for protecting Cultural and Architecture Heritage” award to the Patrice Besse Group at the UNESCO head office.
