Luxury Properties in France
Discover our hand-picked selection of luxury French real estate in some of the most desirable locations in the French Alps and French Riviera.
The relaxed lifestyle, unparalleled cuisine, attractive climate, first-class skiing, and an exciting real estate market are just a few of the reasons to search for second homes and luxury real estate in France.
From Michelin-starred dining and pristine ski slopes to countryside vineyards in one of the world’s leading wine-producing nations, France offers a lifestyle and investment opportunity that few destinations can match.
French Alps or French Riviera?
The Alps are seasonal, rental-heavy, and priced on ski access above almost everything else. The Riviera is year-round, more private, and priced on views and proximity to the water.
Alpine buyers often prioritise ski-in ski-out access, altitude for snow reliability, and a rental season that can cover a meaningful share of running costs. Riviera buyers usually prioritise lifestyle, with rental as a secondary consideration, and they weigh privacy and outlook far more heavily than yield.
Neither is an objectively better purchase. It depends entirely on how you plan to use the place, and how many weeks a year you’ll actually be in it.
What Buying Property in France Involves
France is one of the more straightforward European markets for an international buyer. There are no nationality restrictions on ownership, a notaire oversees every transaction as an impartial legal officer, and the process from offer to completion follows a well-defined sequence with a statutory cooling-off period built in for the buyer.
That said, the costs and the tax position both need planning for properly before you commit. We’ve set all of it out in detail, including fees, financing and ongoing ownership costs, in our French Property Investment Guide.
