You’ll find following some prices about real estate on the French Riviera. I am dealing with average prices. You can find huge differences depending on the location of the property (close to the sea, downtown…). But if you are willing to invest in the French Riviera, that can give you some ideas of prices.
First of all, famous cities in the French Riviera like Villefranche sur mer or St Jean Cap Ferrat are much more expensive that others cities in the French Riviera. Real estate prices are around € 7000/m². But real estate prices had been decreasing during the whole last year. Now, they’ve been increasing but at a slow rate. The growth is much more sustained in Cannes where real estate prices are around € 5000/m². Nice is less expensive with € 4300/m².
Moreover some less famous cities in the French Riviera take advantage of their very good location : closed to bigger cities with calm and less tourists. Indeed, if you want to invest in the French Riviera, you have to know that real estate prices are high in Villeneuve Loubet (€ 5300/m²) or in Cap d’Ail (€ 6500/m²). Villeneuve Loubet is perfectly located between Cannes and Nice; Cap d’Ail is the closest city to Monaco.
As far as I am concerned, I recommend to have a look to the countryside. It appears to me as a good place to invest in the French Riviera. Cities like Opio, Roquefort les Pins are really beautiful and you can find wonderful properties as a good price ! Indeed, since the middle of 2007, real estate prices have been decreasing. I think there are some good opportunities to find there.
Thanks to Danish gift for home decoration, you can now customise your property with useful and inventive products. Have a look at Danish crafts and you’ll become addicted to ! The company will be present at the Furniture and Design fair in Milan. There is no doubt that their home decoration items will seduce visitors.
If you have a property on the French Riviera with a wonderful terrace or garden, you’ll enjoy the tree stump cushions. They’re ideal for garden furniture. They’re available for chairs, benches and are unique. Indeed, the dyed wool is rolled felted and sliced in order to create these different colors and shapes. They look like annual rings of a tree stump. Your home decoration is unique too !

Fashion is everywhere, even in the French real estate market ! For instance Mr Castelbajac has just created furniture dedicated to your home decoration. The tables and chairs keep the spirit of the fashion designer. Thus you can buy a fashion designed chair for 640 euros. The name of the chair : Baudelaire
In the same spirit, a 350m² property designed by the worlwide famous designer Philippe Starck is for sale closed to Paris. The price is 3,700,000 euros. There is no price for fashion !
Buying a property is not an easy task to do in its own country ! There are many factors to take into account : the local prices, the neighbourhood, the evolution of the area…When you want to buy a property abroad, the task is much more harder. You need to find the right information about prices but also about the transport access to the property, the local legislation (see our post ) . Are you sure that there is no plan for a motorway construction close to your property? Where to find a good architect?
Moreover, you have to visit many properties and some French real estate agencies don’t feel confortable with English speaking. Some of my clients have decided to ask for a property finder when they felt fed up with visiting properties during all their holidays without success.

Nowadays on the French Riviera, it is not an easy task to find a property with a direct access to the sea . Indeed, seafront properties represent a micro-market on the French Riviera real estate market itself . French Riviera with Paris is known to be the most expensive region in France for real estate properties.
Prices are even higher on the cape and there are few beautiful and amazing capes on the French Riviera: Cap Martin, Cap d’Antibes, Cap d’Ail, Cap Ferrat and the famoust peninsula of Saint Tropez. Notice that there is no property on some of them : for instance the peninsula of Giens (Var) is protected as a natural park for pedestrians access only.
Obviously if you’re looking for an access to the sea, with enough deep water to moor a boat, the task is harder. That’s why you need a property finder. Continue reading ‘A property at the water’s edge’
