The 1st arrondissement: the historic heart of Paris
With barely 17,000 residents packed into just 1.8 km², the 1st is one of the smallest and least populated arrondissement of Paris — but also one of the most iconic.
This is the historic heart of the capital: the Louvre, once a royal palace and now the largest museum in the world; the Tuileries Gardens, created in the 16th century; the Palais-Royal with its galleries and gardens; and Place Vendôme, a symbol of Parisian luxury.
The 1st arrondissement is home to an exceptional concentration of historic landmarks in a compact area. Here, clearance services take on a special meaning, in a arrondissement where history, culture, and commerce intersect.

FAQ - Everything You Need to Know About clearance in Paris
How should I prepare a clearance near the Louvre or Palais-Royal?
Send the address, floor, lift dimensions and loading details. Older buildings around Rue Saint-Honoré and Palais-Royal may have stairs or narrow passages requiring particular handling. Photos of the furniture and access help us prepare the quote.
How do you assess the value of furniture and objects?
We consider condition, quality and realistic resale potential. An old object does not automatically have a market value. The agreed recoverable value is deducted from the clearance price and can sometimes cover the whole service.
Can I organise the clearance without being there?
Yes. We can agree access with you, a relative, an agent or the caretaker. Before the work starts, identify belongings to retain, documents to look for and rooms to clear. Clear instructions are especially useful for an inheritance or a property managed from abroad.
How do you dismantle furniture in an older building?
We examine the fixings and available route, then dismantle what can be taken apart to reduce bulk. Identify furniture to retain before the clearance. Furniture intended for removal may need cutting into sections if dismantling is not sufficient.
Clearance across the neighbourhoods of the 1st arrondissement
Louvre and Rue de Rivoli
Around the Louvre and Palais-Royal, older buildings contain apartments, galleries and offices. We assess stairs, shared areas and loading access before organising a clearance.
Les Halles
Busy streets, smaller homes and older cellars can make access a central part of the job. Send photos of both the contents and the route from the property to the street.
Palais-Royal
Residential buildings, offices and cultural premises require clear coordination with the person responsible for access. We agree the rooms to clear, items to retain and any building restrictions.
Place Vendôme
For offices, shops and residential properties around Place Vendôme, tell us about permitted working hours, goods lifts and loading arrangements. These details help us prepare a quote suited to the premises.
