View properties in FranceFrance, an exceptional coastline for luxury real estate
The French coastline boasts over 5,800 kilometers of shoreline—from the Mediterranean French Riviera to the rocky shores of Brittany, from the Atlantic Basque Coast to the beaches of Normandy. This coastal heritage encompasses some of the most active and highly valued luxury real estate markets in France. Seaside properties represent a structurally scarce segment: coastal land is protected and restricted by the French Coastal Law, making each available property particularly valuable.
The French seaside resort property market grew by 0.9% in 2026, while the national residential market declined by 0.4%—a sign of structural resilience linked to land scarcity and consistent demand from both domestic and international buyers. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat boasts an average price of €18,047/m² according to SeLoger (July 2026), making the French Riviera the most expensive coastline in France. Conversely, the Breton and Norman coasts offer character properties at prices that remain relatively affordable compared to southern markets.
Four coasts, four markets
The French Riviera is the most prestigious real estate coastline in France and one of the most expensive in Europe. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Cap d'Antibes, Saint-Tropez, Ramatuelle, and Gassin offer a concentration of waterfront properties, the land for which is completely saturated. More than 70% of buyers are foreign.
