Property for sale on the French Riviera

To this day the single most popular region for would be property hunters and investors in France is the French Riviera. People complain about the high prices and over-developed tourist industry here, however, the reality is that it is still the most popular tourist destination in France outside Paris and France is the most popular tourist destination in the world. Queen Victoria used to come here for her summer breaks and its not hard to see why; the Mediterranean weather is warm but not overly suffocating and its beaches are sandy and generally protected from the wind. This is in contrast to the beaches on the West coast of France which are much larger and wider than on the Cote d’Azur and more windswept and cooler due to the prevailing Atlantic wind and cool air from the Pyrenees (in the south).

The climate on the French Riviera is typically Mediterranean with on average 300 days of sunshine each year. The summers are warm without being scorching hot and the winters are mild, very rarely going below freezing.

The lifestyle here is exceptional with fantastic restaurants, bars and cafes in all the coastal towns and villages and most also have weekly markets where fresh and local produce is brought in. The French Riviera is also known for its perfume industry but also produces many superb arts and crafts. The area is surrounded by vineyards, gardens and parks giving you the perfect opportunity to unwind and take in the Mediterranean sounds and aromas. The area is also steeped in history and culture offering its visitors the opportunity to gaze at its many castles and citadels, browse the numerous museums and art galleries or simply visit the charming villages.
