Beyoncé and Jay Z house-hunt while taking a break in Paris

Los Angeles - Beyoncé and Jay Z have been house-hunting in Paris.

The couple, who have two-year-old daughter Blue Ivy, were spotted checking out homes near Élysée Palace in the French capital on Wednesday following the end of their On the Run tour last month.

However, it is not known whether the couple are looking to buy a property or rent for the short term, like they did with their Bel Air mansion earlier this year.

The pair, who have been rocked by a number of break-up rumours, rented the property in Los Angeles for a staggering $200 000 for less than a month following the end of their respective solo tours in the Spring.

Meanwhile, the duo, who got married in 2008, have also been trying to fit in some sight-seeing before their careers force them to return to the US.

The 33-year-old beauty has been keeping fans updated with their schedule by posting pictures from their excursions, including a trip to the Eiffel Tower.
