France.
From Haussmannian Paris to the Côte d'Azur and the snow-sure Alps — Europe's most enduring address for prestige, lifestyle and lasting value.
Why France.
- 01
Riviera, Paris & Alps
Paris, the Côte d'Azur and the French Alps form three of the world's deepest, most coveted pools of trophy property and lifestyle.
- 02
Deep, liquid market
France's luxury market is worth roughly €30 billion, with foreign buyers — American, Belgian, British — returning in 2025 as mortgage rates ease.
- 03
Heritage & scarcity
Haussmann apartments and Cap Ferrat waterfront are strictly finite and heritage-protected; scarcity, not new supply, sets prices at the top.
- 04
A genuine residency route
France grants no golden visa for property, but owners with steady income (~€21,600/year) can settle via the renewable long-stay visitor visa.
- 05
Clear, known costs
Budget honestly: notaire and transfer costs run about 7–8% on resale, and IFI wealth tax applies on net property above €1.3 million.
