Selling an apartment in Paris involves much more than putting a property on the market at the right price.

Paris... The prettiest and most romantic...
Over 50 years after his death, Charles-Edouard Jeanneret-Gris, better known by his pseudonym Le Corbusier, continues to be the topic of much discussion. With his postwar designs now classified as UNESCO heritage sites, he left an everlasting mark on the history of twentieth century architecture. Nonetheless, despite the widespread success of his work, the man himself remains controversial today.
Emmanuel Barrois and glass are above all a story of chance. An unexpected encounter with a stained glass artist, which changed the direction he was about to take in his professional life. At the time, the young agricultural engineer on a humanitarian mission was trying his hand at photography.
