Private security in Paris
Private mansions and apartments in the 7th, 8th and 16th, corporate headquarters, brand events. Our head office is just south of the city.
South of Paris.
Our office is just south of Paris. From there our officers reach the western arrondissements, Neuilly and Boulogne at any hour, without depending on anyone else's timetable.
What we protect in Paris
In Paris, private security is a matter of buildings, courtyards, car parks and lifts. A private mansion in the 7th does not have the same entrances as a reception apartment on avenue Foch or a corporate headquarters in the 8th. We study the building, its service entrances, its concierge lodge and the hours of the co-owners' association before proposing a plan that respects the neighbours and the house rules.
Our Paris clients are families, executives and their assistants, luxury houses, galleries and event agencies. Many are based in London, the Gulf or the United States and keep a residence here for part of the year. They expect a presence that goes unnoticed in the hall of a Haussmann building, and an officer able to deal with a bailiff, a courier or a journalist without raising his voice.
We operate throughout Paris, in Neuilly-sur-Seine, Boulogne-Billancourt, Saint-Cloud and Versailles, and across the west and south of the Île-de-France. Assignments in Deauville, Chantilly or the Chevreuse valley are organised from our head office.
How we work in Paris
Every Paris assignment begins with a walk through the building with you or your property manager. We note the entrances, the existing cameras, the blind spots, the habits of the concierge and the neighbours. The resulting assignment brief is short and precise: who may come in, at what time, through which door, and what the officer does in each case.
On post, the officer keeps the logbook, checks every opening on each patrol and sends you a report at the end of the shift. For an executive, the plan is built around the diary: we adjust the presence to meetings, journeys and evenings, in direct contact with the assistant. A single number, a single point of contact, whatever the hour.
Paris is a city of movement. The security driver and the close protection officer work as one: routes reconnoitred, times chosen, parking and waiting arranged. Nothing spectacular, everything prepared.
Three situations we see in Paris
A private mansion during fashion week
A couture house entertains for four days in a private mansion in the 8th. Guests and press screened at the door, cars managed in a narrow street, a night officer for the pieces on display. No uniform, dress to match the occasion.
An executive in Paris for three days
A security driver meets him at Le Bourget. A close protection officer accompanies him to meetings, to dinner and back to the hotel. The routes were driven the day before. The assistant has one number to call.
A family apartment during the holidays
Daily patrols at varying times, entrances and post checked, contractors let in for works under way, the property manager alerted immediately if anything is out of place. The family receives an update every week.
Private security in Paris: your questions
How much does a bodyguard cost in Paris?
The cost of close protection depends on the number of officers, the duration, the hours and the level you choose, experienced officer or Elite tier. Nights, Sundays, French public holidays and requests at less than 48 hours' notice carry a surcharge. We send a detailed quote within 24 hours.
Are your officers licensed for close protection in France?
Yes. MAROS Sécurité holds CNAPS authorisation AUT-091-2124-02-24-20250968611. Our close protection officers hold the CNAPS professional licence for that activity, as required by articles R631-18 to R631-22 of the French Internal Security Code.
Do you work at night and at weekends?
Yes, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our reference night shifts run from 21:00 to 07:00. Clients under contract can reach our duty desk at any time.
Can you start tomorrow?
For residential security or a security driver, often yes. For close protection or an event, we prefer to carry out reconnaissance first. Starting at less than 48 hours' notice remains possible with an urgency surcharge.
Do you work with family offices and event agencies?
Yes. We work for family offices, concierge services, event agencies and luxury houses, in France and abroad, with a single point of contact and invoicing adapted to your procedures.
Will your officers be discreet in a residential building?
It is a condition of the assignment. Plain clothes or business dress according to your instructions, no mention of your name, no conversation with the neighbours beyond courtesy. Confidentiality is written into the contract.
