France has a strong gold tradition — the "or physique" culture is deeply rooted. But for serious volumes, LCORE's Abu Dhabi freeport offers zero-tax allocated storage under English Common Law.
Request ConsultationParis is an important gold market hub. Abu Dhabi (ADGM) adds a complementary position: neutral UAE jurisdiction outside Western sanctions, English Common Law enforcement, pre-customs vault with zero import/export duty, and access to LCORE's DVP settlement infrastructure and Storage Programme.
Gold is moved from Paris to Abu Dhabi via direct air connection (where available) or standard bullion logistics (Brinks, Malca-Amit). LCORE issues a Warehouse Receipt on arrival. Your gold is allocated, insured, and governed by English Law from day one.
