Buying beachfront property in France
France's beachfront market is led by the Cote d'Azur, where apartments and villas in Nice, Cannes and Saint-Tropez look out over the Mediterranean, often from terraced hillsides above the shore. Along the Atlantic, the coast of the Gironde offers a different style, with family houses close to long sandy beaches and pine forest, while the Languedoc coastline and Normandy add further choice, from resort apartments to traditional seaside villas.
On the Riviera, true frontline homes are rare, so many buyers weigh a direct beach position against a sea view from higher up. Consider how the home will be used out of season, as some resorts are quiet in winter, and allow for the upkeep that salt air brings to shutters, ironwork and render.
