The French Riviera remains one of the world's most sought-after property markets, for reasons that go far beyond its legendary sunshine. Stretching from Saint-Tropez and the Gulf of Saint-Tropez to the heights of Èze and the Cap d'Antibes peninsula, the French Riviera offers a concentration of natural beauty, cultural life, international connectivity and long-term value that no other coastline can match. Property for sale on the French Riviera offers an extraordinarily wide range of opportunities: contemporary villas with Provençal gardens in Mougins, residences with sea views in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat near the Four Seasons, penthouse apartments on the Croisette in Cannes, and new-build developments in Beaulieu-sur-Mer with prices starting from €830,000. With over 600 properties spread across 19 distinct micro-areas, John Taylor offers the most comprehensive and consistent coverage of this market, thanks to its local agencies in Cannes, Cap d'Antibes, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Saint-Tropez, Mougins and Valbonne.

The depth of the French Riviera market is one of its defining characteristics for buyers. Unlike single-destination alpine markets, the Côte d'Azur offers a portfolio of micro-markets, each with distinct pricing, buyer profiles and property typologies, which means that the right entry point depends heavily on lifestyle priorities and investment objectives. Villas in Mougins and the Valbonne hinterland, priced from under 2,000,000 EUR for a contemporary property on a 1,500 m² plot, attract families looking for year-round primary or secondary residences within easy reach of the international schools of Sophia Antipolis. Cap d'Antibes, where asking prices range from 1,190,000 EUR to over 4,900,000 EUR in our current selection, draws buyers who want physical proximity to the sea and the prestige of one of the most historically charged addresses on the Riviera.
Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat and the neighbouring communes of Èze and Beaulieu-sur-Mer represent the highest-value segment on the eastern Riviera. A renovation project on the Cap of Saint-Jean can be acquired from 8,700,000 EUR, a reflection of land value rather than structure, while new-build apartments in Beaulieu with sea views start from 800,000 EUR, making this a rare point of entry into the most prestigious stretch of coastline between Nice and Monaco. Èze Bord-de-Mer, just ten minutes from Monaco, concentrates a cluster of villas priced between 1,190,000 EUR and 7,900,000 EUR, offering sea views, proximity to the TGV station and a calmer atmosphere than the city. Saint-Tropez and the surrounding Gulf, from Grimaud to Cavalaire-sur-Mer, remain the definitive address for summer living on the western Riviera, with contemporary villas from 2,490,000 EUR on plots of over 3,000 m².
Beyond the resort towns, the Riviera back-country, from Grasse and Plascassier through Saint-Paul-de-Vence to the hilltop villages around Fayence, offers properties where value per square metre remains compelling and lifestyle quality is undimmed. Provençal stone farmhouses, architect-designed contemporary homes in gated estates, Californian-style villas with panoramic sea views: the variety of what is available through John Taylor reflects decades of local presence and an unmatched professional network across the region. Whether you are investing, relocating, or creating a pied-à-terre on Europe's most celebrated coastline, our advisors are ready to guide your search from initial shortlist to final signature.
What types of property are available for sale on the French Riviera?
The Côte d'Azur market covers villas, houses, apartments, penthouses and country properties across a wide price range. John Taylor currently lists over 630 properties, from contemporary Mougins villas under 2 million euros to renovation projects on Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat above 8 million euros, spread across 19 distinct micro-areas.
Which areas of the French Riviera offer the best value for international buyers today?
Mougins, Valbonne and the Grasse hinterland offer strong value for buyers seeking villa space within 30 minutes of the sea and the international schools of Sophia Antipolis. Èze Bord-de-Mer and Beaulieu-sur-Mer offer sea-view properties at lower price points than neighbouring Cap-Ferrat, while retaining proximity to Monaco and Nice airport.
Is the French Riviera a sound long-term investment?
Yes. The Côte d'Azur benefits from structurally constrained land supply, sustained international demand, a mild climate that makes properties attractive year-round, and an established rental market supporting strong summer yields. John Taylor's advisors can model rental income and capital growth scenarios for any property in our selection.
