In the last ten years, the 9th district of Paris has almost entirely been transformed. The district now contains the largest surface area of corporate space in the whole capital.
Its location at the heart of the city, along with its transport links and mix of apartments, shops and companies, means that this is one of the most sought after areas in the capital.
Most of the companies that occupy the district are insurance groups, including AXA, BNP Paribas and Credit Agricole.
