FAQ
Bodyguard and close protection in Paris (individuals, companies, VIPs and celebrities)
What is the price of a private bodyguard in Paris for 24/7 protection or for a one-off assignment?
The cost of a bodyguard in Paris depends on the level of risk, the duration of the assignment, and the type of service (one-off, regular, or 24/7). Since each situation is unique (profile, location, schedule, number of agents), a "standard" price would be meaningless.
The easiest way is to ask us for a personalized quote: after a short exchange (phone or video), you will receive a clear estimate, tailored to your budget and risk level.
Contact us for a quick and confidential estimate, tailored to your budget and risk level.
Do you offer package deals or only customized solutions?
The assignments are almost always tailor-made, because each profile (VIP, executive, family, crypto-entrepreneur) presents different risks.
On the other hand, it is possible to work on recurring formats (weekly security, protection for a season in Saint-Tropez, annual plan for an executive in Paris) which allow for cost optimization. The goal is to find the right balance between your risk level, your need for discretion, and your budget, without ever compromising security.
How to hire a personal protection agent in Paris quickly and easily?
Hiring a personal protection agent in Paris should not be an ordeal.
You contact us, we assess your risk level, then we propose a clear plan with rapid implementation.
You remain in control: the system can be strengthened or lightened depending on how your situation evolves.
Do you offer French-speaking and English-speaking bodyguards in Paris?
Yes, we work with French- and English-speaking bodyguards who are used to serving an international clientele in Paris.
They are familiar with the codes of high-end environments (palaces, luxury boutiques, private events) and can manage exchanges in both French and English with your entourage, your teams and local contacts.
Our agents, whether they are French-speaking or English-speaking, know Paris perfectly, its sensitive districts and its premium areas (Champs-Élysées, Avenue Montaigne, Golden Triangle, grand hotels, event venues).
Their role is not only to accompany you, but also to anticipate risky situations, adapt routes and help you gain peace of mind with every trip.
What exactly does a close protection service for VIPs, executives or celebrities include?
A complete close protection service is not limited to "accompanying" the protected person.
It includes risk analysis, route planning, site reconnaissance, access management, personnel screening and a discreet but responsive presence at your side.
For a VIP, celebrity, or business leader, this means anticipating crowd movements, attempts to approach, harassment, and physical threats.
The agents coordinate movements, secure entrances/exits and remain in contact with any other actors (drivers, internal security, event organizers).
Depending on your needs, the service may also include Home or office security, monitoring of sensitive areas and 24/7 protection with a rotating team. But also the provision of a private driver.
Each agent undergoes continuous training to maintain a very high operational level and offer you a quality service, without overexposing you or damaging your image.
If you are preparing a media tour, a launch, or feel media pressure or increased risk, contact us to structure a tailor-made plan.
Who really needs a bodyguard in Paris: individuals, companies, or only celebrities?
In Paris, we work with three main profiles: high-profile individuals, companies (executives, managers, sensitive events) and VIPs or public figures.
Whenever there is an increased risk of personal attack, harassment or pressure, a personal protection officer can make a real difference.
Why would a crypto trader need a bodyguard in Paris?
Crypto traders who handle large sums of money are exposed to specific risks. (theft, assault, express kidnapping) during physical meetings, withdrawals or cash transactions.
Can bodyguards provide 24/7 security at my home or workplace?
Yes, it is possible to set up 24/7 security with a rotating team of bodyguards.
This type of close protection is recommended when the level of risk is high, with access control, surveillance of surroundings and securing movements.
How are your bodyguards trained and what guarantees a quality service?
The bodyguard profession requires solid initial training and ongoing training to remain effective in the face of evolving risks.
Our personal protection officers are trained, regularly evaluated, and strictly adhere to the legal framework for private security. They are all CNAPS-approved.
What types of events can you secure in Paris?
We provide security for a wide variety of events: private parties, galas, brand launches, fashion shows, business dinners, weddings, family events, public appearances, as well as film shoots or confidential events.
The system is always adapted to the format: screening of guests, access management, close protection of personalities, securing of surroundings and coordination with the teams already in place.
Security begins upstream: site reconnaissance, access analysis, definition of sensitive areas, assessment of profiles to be protected and the overall level of risk.
We then develop a clear plan with the number of agents, the roles of each, entry and exit points, management of unforeseen events and evacuation procedure if necessary.
On the big day, the objective is simple: smooth running for your guests, discretion for you, and maximum responsiveness in case of problems.
Can I hire you for a one-off event or is a long-term contract required?
You can contact us for a single event or for a series of dates (tour, season, gala schedule).
For a one-off event, we are setting up a turnkey system limited to the duration of the mission.
If you regularly organize events in Paris or on the French Riviera, regular support allows for increased efficiency and consistency over time.
In all cases, the starting point remains a confidential exchange to understand your challenges and to determine the appropriate level of security.
How is security handled during an event (party, business trip, public appearance)?
For an event, close protection begins well before your arrival on site.
Our agents analyze the premises, identify access points and exits, assess the expected crowd and risk areas (parking lots, backstage areas, VIP areas).
On the day of the event, one or more bodyguards will ensure your personal safety, manage your movements (entrances, exits, internal movements) and coordinate if necessary with event security or your teams.
For an executive, VIP or celebrity, the objective is twofold: to guarantee maximum security and to protect your public image, especially in the presence of media or fans.
We adapt our posture according to the situation: discreet during a private dinner, more visible during a public appearance where the deterrent effect counts.
In advance, we define with you the desired level of proximity, the people authorized to approach you, and the management of unforeseen events.
If you have a upcoming event and feel a increased risk, contact us early enough to prepare a truly tailor-made system.
What is the difference between a traditional security guard and a bodyguard providing close protection?
A traditional security guard primarily monitors premises, while a bodyguard is dedicated to the physical protection of a person.
In close protection, the agent stays by your side, anticipates dangerous situations and secures your movements.
How can I know if my situation warrants celebrity protection or enhanced close protection?
It is not always easy to assess one's own level of risk.
However, some signs should alert you: repeated harassment (online or physical), explicit threats, an unstable ex-spouse or partner, sudden media exposure, business trips in tense contexts or events where you attract a lot of attention.
For celebrities, VIPs or executives, the combination of visibility + public access + easily findable personal information naturally increases the risk of personal attack.
Celebrity protection or enhanced close protection does not necessarily mean an entire team and a 24/7 security from day one.
We can start with a system targeted at the most sensitive moments, then adapt according to how the situation evolves.
Our role is to advise you honestly, without dramatizing but without naivety, drawing on our field experience.
If you have any doubt whatsoever, the simplest thing to do is to Contact us for a confidential diagnosis : you will quickly have a clear view of the possible options.
Do you offer female bodyguards for close protection in Paris?
Yes, we offer female personal protection officers for close protection in Paris.
Female clients and some VIPs sometimes prefer a female profile for reasons of comfort, discretion or cultural context.
A female bodyguard offers the same level of security as a male agent: same training, same operational requirements, same ability to manage increased risk during your travels, events or public appearances.
The idea is not to "be a figurehead", but to offer you personal security adapted to your reality, with a quality service.
In certain situations (accompanying children, protection of public figures(e.g., travel abroad, sensitive contexts), an agent can blend more easily into the environment, while still providing effective close protection.
Our agents undergo continuous training, are selected based on their skills and composure, and can operate solo or as part of a mixed team.
If you specifically require a female bodyguard, please indicate this in your initial contact: we will adapt the arrangement to your needs, in complete confidentiality.
