Clémence Wiart - A career that sprung from a passion

Have you ever noticed that a search for meaning is what lies at the heart of many of our alumni’s careers? Clémence is a case in point. We catch up with a graduate who has had the courage of her convictions not just once, but twice since graduating in 2015.
She first of all devoted her attention to selling works of art at auction houses in Paris and then in Lyon. However in 2019 Clémence felt the need for a new challenge and made a complete change of direction. Focusing on her creativity and a desire to be her own boss, she retrained as a florist and set up her own floral creations studio: Studio Paupiette. Now based at the Espace des Entrepreneurs in Lille, she provides accessories and floral decorations as well as keeping up with the day-to-day running of the business.

Edouard Kuhn - The only advisor you need for your real estate project

In the Paris property market, a nice apartment attracts more than a hundred potential buyers as soon as it is put up for sale and will be sold in less than 24 hours. It was after making this observation that Edouard Kuhn decided to become a property hunter in Paris. After 10 years in corporate finance, working for large companies and start-ups, in France and abroad, he joined an estate agency before going on to launch his business. He provides his demanding clients with an efficient service and peace of mind for all their property plans by holding their hand throughout the process. If you want to buy an apartment in Paris, as an investment or to live in, use the benefit of his experience to embark on your project with confidence.
