Jeffrey Epstein, the American billionaire found dead in August 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking of minors, owned a Parisian residence at 22, avenue Foch, acquired in 2002. This upscale property, located on a prestigious street near the Arc de Triomphe, has recently attracted significant media attention following the release of the "Epstein files" by the U.S. government in late January. While residents of the building remain discreet, some recall the frequent visits of young women to Epstein's pied-à-terre, where he would stay several times a year. The building itself is a grand Haussmannian structure, secured by a wrought-iron gate and surveillance cameras, leading to an opulent interior with a mirrored hall and a red-carpeted double staircase.
