Family Offices in France in a nutshell
The French family office landscape is different from other countries. Many wealthy French families operate family holdings that can be seen as family offices. A good example is the Groupe Artemis of the Pinault family, which manages the shareholdings in Kering, as well as the stake in Christie’s or Stade Rennais. Other French family offices, like Creadev, are completely focused on one investment area. Over the recent years, more and more family offices are launched in France, underlining the general trend to establish dedicated family investment firms.

Headquarters in Paris, Neuilly-sur-Seine, Nice, Lyon, Marseille and other French cities
Most of the largest French Single Family Offices are located in Paris. The capital of France is home of hundrets of investment professionals and offers a vivid ecosystem for wealthy families. Single Family Offices seem to favour Paris, although the family is not located in the French capital. This might be because many private equity and venture capital funds are located there and the real estate market is one of the most dynamic ones in Europe. However, there are important Single Family Offices in France that do not have their office in L’Ile de France. Of course, we cover those investment vehicles as well.
