Engel & Völkers Continues Its Expansion in France and Establishes a Presence in Lyon

Following the opening of its Paris flagship in the prestigious 8th arrondissement, Engel & Völkers France continues its expansion across the French territory by establishing a presence in Lyon (69), the capital of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. The group thus reinforces its position as a key player in the luxury real estate market.
With growing demand for high-end and luxury real estate, the city of Lyon renowned for its rich heritage and history, as well as its quality of life is attracting an increasing number of investors seeking exceptional properties. Lyon is positioning itself as one of the most dynamic and attractive cities in the French market, with a median price of around €4,650 per sqm.
The opening of this agency in Lyon is part of our growth strategy in the most promising French markets, combining economic attractiveness, quality of life, and rich heritage. I am pleased to entrust the development of this new territory to Anthony Giovannai, whose expertise in the Lyon market, entrepreneurial energy, and human values fully align with our brand’s DNA. With Anthony at its head, this agency will quickly become a benchmark for clients seeking excellence," says Alexis Caquet, President of Engel & Völkers France.
Indeed, the luxury real estate market in Lyon represents an excellent opportunity for investors seeking long-term value appreciation, whether for a primary residence, a secondary home, or a rental investment. The areas around Parc de la Tête d’Or, the 6th arrondissement, and the Monts d’Or are particularly sought after by families and senior executives. The Presqu’île, covering the 1st and 2nd arrondissements, is home to the most prestigious addresses, featuring Haussmann-style apartments. Its limited supply makes it highly attractive to buyers looking for secure value growth.
The team, composed of around twenty agents, will focus on prospecting potential sellers while delivering the advisory services and expertise of Engel & Völkers France.
"Joining Engel & Völkers is above all a choice of both heart and vision, and I thank Alexis Caquet for his trust. What attracted me was not only the strength of the network, but above all the commitment to placing people at the center of every transaction. With this opening in Lyon, our ambition is to build a cohesive and dedicated team capable of meeting the expectations of both local and international clients seeking exceptional properties. Our goal is to showcase our expertise across the entire Lyon metropolitan area," concludes
Anthony Giovannai, Team Leader Engel & Völkers Lyon.
