Who is Xavier CARTRON in the Epstein files?

He is the architect behind the Design Agency Xavier Cartron, a firm with a Paris base (xaviercartron.fr). The files show it hired for conceptual design of a private residence on Jeffrey Epstein's Little St. James island. He corresponds with Epstein directly in some emails and is copied on others by his colleague Kifah Laham. Epstein's staff handle his travel and meeting arrangements.

What did Cartron work on for Epstein?

The files point to a "Little St. James Island Private Residence Project," with a technical and financial proposal (REV.02), a concept design report and master plan dated February 2019, and follow-ups through March 2019. Epstein asked for materials in advance and held video calls with the team to review them. The files do not show whether the project was built or how far it progressed.

Did Xavier Cartron meet Jeffrey Epstein in person?

The records show planned in-person contact. Cartron was scheduled to fly to New York on October 19, 2018, for lunch with Epstein at his Manhattan home. In August 2018 he and Laham traveled to St. Thomas, with a site visit implied by the project and the booking of rooms. A presentation at his Paris office was scheduled for January 23, 2019. These come from itineraries and emails, not from accounts of what happened at the meetings.

Is Cartron accused of anything in these documents?

No. His appearances are professional: design proposals, scheduling, flights and hotel bookings. Being named in Epstein's files does not by itself indicate any wrongdoing.

Watch: Xavier CARTRON in the Epstein files

1:11

Narrated from the AI-generated summary of the documents. Numbers reflect the archive at generation time.

Xavier Cartron is a French architect whose design agency worked on a private residence project for Jeffrey Epstein on Little St. James island in the U.S. Virgin Islands in 2018–2019. The files show him in direct professional correspondence with Epstein and in travel and scheduling records for site visits and meetings.

Eleven emails have Cartron in the From/To/Cc header. They are project emails from July 2018 to March 2019 on his firm's "Little St. James Island Private Residence Project" (references such as MA18.36 and LSJ18-41, later LS118.41). In them, Epstein (using the jeevacation Gmail account), Cartron and his colleague Kifah Laham arrange Skype calls and design reviews. A "Conceptual Architectural Design Services — Technical and Financial Proposal REV.02" from the "Design Agency Xavier Cartron (XC)" is also in the files. Most of the other mentions are logistics: flight, car, hotel and calendar entries for his visits. Because the archive has about 147 emails among its 157 documents, many hits are repeated forwards of the same booking threads.

Key Highlights

•A revised Technical and Financial Proposal from the Design Agency Xavier Cartron covers conceptual architectural design services for a private residence on Little St. James, U.S. Virgin Islands.
•In July 2018, Kifah Laham wrote about the "MA18.36: Little St. James Island Private Residence Project" and copied Cartron. In February 2019 Laham sent a "Concept Design Report / Master Plan" and noted the team had not heard from Epstein for a while.
•On December 1, 2018, Epstein emailed Laham and Cartron asking whether they would like to speak on Skype. On February 9, 2019 he wrote that they should send material when ready and give him two days to review it before the next Skype call. Cartron wrote to Epstein himself on March 19, 2019 in a "Follow-up" email.
•In August 2018, Cartron and Laham traveled to St. Thomas. The records show studios booked at Sapphire Village for August 25–27, a Great Bay Hotel letter addressed to Cartron, and a Delta flight on August 27 or 28 out of St. Thomas.
•On October 19, 2018, a car service was booked to take Cartron from JFK (Air France flight 22) to Epstein's home at 9 East 71st Street. The schedule lists a lunch with him at 12:45pm. The "John F. Kennedy" connection in the entity data most likely reflects JFK airport in these records.
•A January 2019 schedule lists an appointment for Epstein at Cartron's office in Paris on January 23 for a presentation. Staff emails explain it was the only day Cartron could meet before leaving for Riyadh.
•One communication record includes a text exchange noting that "Xavier Cartron texted me." The context is too fragmentary to say what it concerned.
•The documents show a client–architect relationship. They do not allege any wrongdoing by Cartron.
