Who hasn't dreamt of leaving the greyness behind and settling on the French Riviera to live the Dolce Vita? With its incredible natural heritage, ideal sunshine rate, and dreamlike landscapes, the region quickly became a popular destination for both French and foreign investors. It also attracted many artists, from Picasso to Cocteau, Matisse, Chagall, Renoir, and Gary. Symbolic of the South of France, it is true that the region has a lot to offer! Michaël Zingraf Christie's International Real Estate presents its various assets!

The incredible diversity of the natural heritage

The French Riviera possesses an exceptional natural heritage. While its coastline is often highlighted (rightly so), the region also includes a large mountainous area and a countryside nestled in the heart of Provence. Living on the French Riviera means being able to enjoy beach activities, mountain walks, skiing in various high-altitude resorts, and discovering the riches of Provençal nature. From Toulon to Saint-Tropez, from Saint-Raphaël to Menton, passing through Cannes, this exceptional diversity can appeal to all nature and open spaces lovers.

Dreamlike beaches

The French Riviera offers a great variety of beaches. Long sandy beaches in Fréjus, Sainte-Maxime, and Saint-Tropez, creeks and coves in Théoule-sur-Mer and Cannes, Saint-Jean Cap Ferrat and Cap d'Antibes, pebble beaches in Nice, bays in Villefranche-sur-Mer and Beaulieu-sur-Mer - here, there is something for everyone's taste. The best part? The region is full of hidden or lesser-known small beaches that can be discovered during a hike or from a panoramic viewpoint.

A highly attractive real estate market

It is always advantageous to buy property in a thriving area. And on the French Riviera, buyers have little to worry about! As the second most popular tourist destination in France after Paris, the region is also the leading French market for luxury second homes and has established itself as a stronghold of luxury real estate. Whether you want to buy a primary residence or make a rental investment, you have every chance of a profitable operation on your side. The region's international reputation is also an additional guarantee for a real estate investment.

An ideal living environment

How can one mention the advantages of the French Riviera without mentioning its climate! With over 300 days of sunshine per year and mild temperatures for most of the year, the region is perfectly suited for a Mediterranean lifestyle. Here, people take the time to stroll in the sun, enjoy an ice cream, or savor delicious local specialties. As for employment, the French Riviera is a high-value-added basin. Sophia Antipolis, in particular, welcomes thousands of employees each year: the site has 1,400 international companies and provides over 30,000 direct jobs in a wide range of sectors.
