Investing in property in Cannes
An international city and a safe-haven of the French Riviera, Cannes attracts investors. Here are the keys to understanding the market — for information only, as every project deserves personalised advice.
Why invest in Cannes?
Sustained international demand, business and leisure tourism, the rarity of seafront properties: all factors that make Cannes a sought-after patrimonial asset, little affected by market swings.
Long-term or seasonal rental?
Long-term rental offers stable income and simple management. Seasonal rental, driven by the Film Festival and conventions, targets higher yields, but requires more management and must comply with local regulations (declaration at the town hall).
Which neighbourhoods to invest in?
The town centre and Le Suquet for seasonal lets and centrality; family neighbourhoods like Le Petit Juas or Les Broussailles for long-term rental at the best value. Compare the prices per m² by neighbourhood.
Points to watch
Seasonal rental regulations, taxation (schemes such as the LMNP status to study according to your situation), charges and management: a successful investment is prepared. We point you to the right contacts.
