Custom home design in 2e Arrondissement (Bourse)
2e Arrondissement (Bourse) is 2e arr. — Bourse's haussmannien + post-haussmannien (1850-1900) submarket. The 2e contains 12 of Paris's 20 surviving 19th-century passages couverts (Galerie Vivienne, Passage des Panoramas, etc.) — buildings backing onto these passages are subject to Monument Historique inscrit overlay even if the principal façade is non-classé, and any rear-wall opening triggers conservation review.

Who is Baily?
Baily is named after Francis Baily — an English stockbroker who retired at 51, became an astronomer, and in 1836 described something on the edge of a solar eclipse that nobody had properly articulated before: a string of bright beads of sunlight breaking through the valleys along the moon’s rim.
He wasn’t the first to see them. Edmond Halley saw them in 1715 and barely noticed. Baily’s contribution was clarity — describing exactly what was happening, in plain language, so vividly that the whole field of astronomy paid attention. The phenomenon is still called Baily’s beads.
That’s what we wanted our AI to do. Every inbound call and text has signal in it — a homeowner’s real question, a timeline, a budget, a hesitation that means “yes but.” Baily listens to every one, 24/7, and finds the beads of light.
Baily was a businessman before he was a scientist. That’s our vibe too.
