Our firm has moved to a new address.
We have left 41 Avenue de Friedland and moved to 39 Avenue Victor Hugo (Paris 16tharrondissement) … just a short hop around the Arc de Triomphe.
A few boxes, impromptu coffee breaks between client matters, plenty of logistics – and, above all, a real sense of excitement.
This move represents a new step in Vatier’s development. Our new offices will provide a refreshed working environment and allow us to continue welcoming our clients and partners in the best possible conditions.
The entire team is delighted to begin this new chapter.
A new address, but the same availability, commitment and high standards in supporting our clients’ projects and protecting their interests.
