Sarah Lahbati eyes €4.75 million home in Paris in Netflix's 'The Parisian Agency'
Sarah Lahbati is looking for a home in Paris.
The actress and model appeared in the sixth season of Netflix's French reality TV series The Parisian Agency: Exclusive Properties. In the third episode, she's eyeing an apartment near the Arc de Triomphe.
One of the hosts, Valentin Kretz, who is married to Filipina fashion designer Charina Sarte, showed Sarah—speaking in fluent French—a "very Parisian" apartment, which he described as what "95% of international buyers are looking for."
Sarah shared that she's mostly in France for Paris Fashion Week, in which she attends up to five shows a day.
In the episode, she asked Valentin if there were universities near the apartment. "Because it's really a dream for me. Maybe one day my kids could study here. Hopefully that happens," Sarah said, referring to her two children with estranged husband Richard Gutierrez: Zion, 12, and Kai, 7.
The chic apartment
The fully-furnished space is a 165 sqm home renovated by well-known architect Virginie Renaut with four rooms, a living room, a dining area, a kitchen, and a continuous balcony. It's priced at 4.75 million euros or P332 million, which is within Sarah's 5 million euro (P349 million) budget.
It features a mix of modern and classic elements like marble panels, herringbone parquet floor tiles, a black granite table, vintage crown moulding, a hidden fabric door, and more.
The actress noted that she needs a space big enough to host gatherings for Pinoys.
The master bedroom is decked with a giant wooden headboard inspired by the old royal carriages from Versailles and a walk-in closet.
Sarah even made a nod about her relationship status, saying, "For two persons, [the walk-in closet] wouldn't be enough, but I'm separated, so all of this is just for me. I think it actually works."
Additionally, the apartment has a kids' bedroom facing the courtyard.
Another highlight is the continuous balcony running the length of the apartment, which adds to the Parisian vibe.
"I love how everything is really creative, very artsy," Sarah, who's Filipino-Moroccan and grew up in Geneva, Switzerland, said.
"It's very, very, very much my style," she later added. "I can't even decide which room is my favorite.
Sarah's segment ended with her saying she wants to show her mom and kids the living space when she returns to Manila.
"I've got a really good feeling about this apartment," she said.
In October 2024, Sarah flew to Paris as a birthday gift to herself and attended the Paris fashion show. She called the city a "second home" at the time and returned a year later for PFW 2025.
