A family story

MERCURE was bought in 1980 by Pierre Chassaigne, as Chairman he has continued to develop over the years and opportunities. It’s today a unique and reputed real estate group existing with 20 regional offices located throughout France.

The development of the Groupe Mercure has always been in a «family spirit»: a familiar and friendly environment guided by values of trust, respect for tradition, honesty and professionalism, in a clearly defined legal framework.

It is also a story of passion in continuity.In the image of history of property where each generation strives to perpetuate a unique heritage yet allowing growth and evolution, Pierre Chassaigne appoints in April 2010 his daughter Anne de la Sauzay, previously Director of Mercure Midi-Pyrénées, to the position of Managing Director of the Group with Pierre Chassaigne remaining President.
