French Riviera real estate

From Saint-Tropez to Menton: villas, apartments, second homes, investment properties and new developments throughout the Côte d'Azur.

Asher guides American and international buyers through each town's character, the practicalities of owning here, and the French purchase process, in clear English.

Nice

The Riviera's largest city, with its international airport, Belle Époque apartments and the old town.

Current properties here appear below as they come to market.

Villages above NiceHill villages and countryside such as Colomars, offering more land and privacy within reach of the coast and the airport.

What to know before buying here

The Riviera has rules and realities of its own. Asher raises them early, so they shape the search rather than surprise you after an offer.

Coastal planning

The Loi Littoral limits building close to the shoreline. What can be built or extended near the sea is checked before an offer.

Local urban plans

Each commune's Plan Local d'Urbanisme (PLU) governs extensions, pools and new construction.

Seasonal rentals

Short-term rental rules vary by commune and are confirmed for each property before purchase.

Access and seasons

Nice Côte d'Azur airport, rail links and summer traffic shape daily life differently in each town.

General information. The notaire and independent advisers confirm what applies to a specific property.
