Malraux and Historic Monuments.
These investments are typically structured around ASLs—free trade associations. Investments in historic monuments, just like projects eligible under the Malraux program, are among the real estate investments that are highly geared toward tax savings. They appeal to many taxpayers because they often offer the possibility of deducting the full cost of the work undertaken.

The Malraux / Historic Landmark Investment
An investment designed to reduce
tax liability
Investments in historic monuments, like projects eligible under the Malraux program, are among the real estate investments that offer significant tax benefits. They appeal to many taxpayers because they often allow for the full deduction of the costs of the restoration work.
These arrangements are most often structured as voluntary associations (ASLs), which provide the legal framework for collectively organizing the execution and management of restoration work.
Our Iconic Product
The firm assisted the members of the ASL responsible for one of the largest historic landmark restoration projects ever undertaken: the conversion of a former hospital into a luxury hotel in northern France.
The project, which had been left abandoned for some time and was in a particularly precarious situation, required an intense legal and collective effort. This effort paid off: the facility was finally completed, is now fully operational, and all stakeholders report being satisfied with the outcome.
This experience stands as one of the most striking examples of the expertise we have developed in defending complex heritage projects.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if my service provider is placed in receivership?
When a business operator is placed in receivership, a court-appointed administrator is designated to oversee the proceedings. It is therefore essential to act promptly to protect your rights within the insolvency proceedings, particularly with regard to the continuation or termination of the commercial lease, as well as the filing of your claims. In this context, Goethe Avocats mobilizes to provide collective representation, ensuring consistent and effective advocacy for investors facing particularly sensitive situations.
Can I claim a VAT refund on my investment in a serviced residence?
When investing in an assisted-living facility under the LMP or LMNP tax regimes, the purchaser is, at a minimum, eligible to claim a VAT refund at the time of purchase. Depending on the specifics of the transaction, additional tax incentives may also apply, including certain income tax reduction schemes—such as the Censi-Bouvard program—which further enhance the financial appeal of this type of investment.
What is a rent judge?
The commercial rent tribunal is the court with jurisdiction to determine the rental value of a property under a commercial lease, particularly when the lease is renewed or revised. A case brought before this tribunal resolves disputes between landlords and tenants regarding the amount of rent.
How does a class-action lawsuit work?
Collective defense brings together investors facing the same challenge so they can pool their resources and present a unified position to the operator or agent. This approach strengthens the investors’ position in the proceedings and maximizes their chances of achieving a favorable outcome.
