French Riviera enters 2026 with prices still advancing — annual prime growth of +2.9% on our Index, against a twelve-market average of +3.2%. Lifestyle and trophy in equal measure, from Saint-Tropez to the Italian border.
At roughly $22,100 per square metre at the top decile, French Riviera sits in the upper-middle of the prime markets we track. Branded stock commands a premium of about +19% over comparable property here, and the very best assets take a median 176 days to sell.
The drivers are familiar and durable: scarcity of genuinely prime stock, an internationally mobile buyer base, and a flight to assets that hold value when the mainstream wobbles. Read French Riviera alongside the other eleven markets in the full LPM Prime Index.
