Buying a Pied-à-Terre in Paris as an American | FULL Before Tour

After 18 months of searching, I finally found it! My pied-à-terre in the heart of Le Marais, Paris. This is the FULL BEFORE tour, and I'm walking you through every room exactly as I found it, unfiltered, unrenovated, and full of potential. In this video, I'm sharing how I found this Paris apartment, what the buying process looked like as an American purchasing property in France, and why I fell in love with this space despite the fact that it needs a complete overhaul. This is the beginning of a full gut renovation, and I wanted to document every stage from the very start. If you've ever dreamed of buying a small apartment in Paris, renovating a French pied-à-terre, or just love a good before-and-after transformation story, you're in the right place. The AFTER is going to be worth the wait! ✦ What's covered in this video: — The 18-month search and what I was looking for — Why I chose Le Marais — A full walkthrough of the space before renovation — My vision for the finished apartment — What the French real estate process is actually like ⸻ ✦ SUBSCRIBE to follow the full renovation in real time ⸻ CHAPTERS 00:18 Introduction 02:03 How I found my apartment 04:07 The Full Before Walkthrough 06:34 Apartment Search Horror Stories 08:19 Living Room 08:53 Kitchen 09:54 Why the Marais area in Paris 10:31 Entryway and home office 11:03 Bathroom 11:45 "Caves" Storage spaces 13:30 What's coming next Outro music - "Michelle" by JB ⸻ MORE FROM CHEZVUDECOR Instagram: @chezvudecor   / chezvudecor   for daily updates Facebook: @chezvudecor https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...
