Purchasing a second home in France means choosing a country with an exceptional quality of life and opting for an economically attractive investment! Whether you're looking for a peaceful haven for your holidays or an additional source of income, in the mountains or by the sea, France offers a multitude of opportunities for real estate investors.

Here are the main reasons why France is a favored destination for buying a second home.

Buying a Second Home in France

Unmatched Quality of Life

France is globally recognized for its quality of life: it's the country of gastronomy, local products, wine, and champagne, but also skiing, beach holidays, and long countryside walks. It’s a country that loves the finer things in life and good products. History is written everywhere, anchored in the streets and sketched on buildings, in large cities as well as in small medieval villages. The countryside is as peaceful as the cities are lively. There are rainy, green, and lush regions, and very sunny regions scented with lavender and rosemary.

France has as many climates as it has landscapes and different cultures, and everyone can find the lifestyle they desire!

A Dynamic and Diverse Real Estate Market

It's hard to generalize the French real estate market as it varies from one region to another, and from one city to another. Overall, it's a dynamic market offering a wide variety of properties, from city center apartments to country houses, including villas with swimming pools, mountain chalets, typical regional homes... Prices vary considerably depending on location and type of property, ranging on average from €1,500 per square meter in the Périgord, to €22,000 in some municipalities of the French Riviera.

This diversity makes France an ideal playground for investors looking for unique and characterful properties.
