The historic heart, UNESCO World Heritage-listed. The Upper City (Ville Haute) concentrates townhouses, character buildings and the capital's most coveted retail addresses. An extremely narrow market — every sale is an event.

What buyers ask us
Can you really live day-to-day in the city centre?
Yes — beyond tourist flows, the Upper City has several hundred permanent residential units, schools, supermarkets and neighbourhood services. Logistics (deliveries, resident parking) are very well organised.
What type of property do you buy in the Upper City?
Mostly 80–250 sqm apartments in listed or renovated 18th–19th-century buildings, plus a few exceptional townhouses when they come up — one per decade on average.
Should I worry about heritage constraints when renovating?
Facades and volumes are protected (UNESCO + Sites & Monuments). Internally, renovation remains broadly possible with an accredited architect. EIRES Real Estate connects you with the right contacts before signing.
