Cap Ferret in the Top Trio
Between dunes, hidden villas, and the scent of pine forests, Lège-Cap-Ferret embodies a form of understated luxury. Today, it proudly holds the third place among the most expensive seaside resorts in France, with an average price of €15,652/m², across all properties. This bastion of high-end real estate is only surpassed by Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat (€17,754/m²), at the top of the ranking, and Ramatuelle (€15,805/m²), a dazzling gem with a discreet charm. Both preserved and sought-after, and quite expensive, our peninsula between the basin and the ocean stands as a stronghold of a cherished way of life, where real estate remains one of the last refuges of discreet elegance.
A Coastal Market That Is Taking a Breather
After five years of rapid growth, prices in seaside resorts are slowing down, even leveling off. On average, the annual change is +0.2%, compared to +0.4% nationwide. This is a first in a long time, signaling more of a stabilization phase than a real decline. With an average of 4,888€ per square meter, the coastline remains a premium market, boosted by the PACA region (5,980€ per m²) and the Atlantic coast (5,380€ per m²).
While some locations like Cap Ferret maintain their exclusive charm, other French beaches are becoming more accessible. In Brittany, Ploéven shows a starting price of 1,786€ per square meter. In La Manche, Geffosses and Woignarue offer properties around 2,000€ per square meter while still keeping that timeless seaside appeal.
Corsica Surprises, the Langu...
Market Slows
Corsica stands out with a spectacular increase of +8.6% in just one year. Less saturated than the mainland, it's now attracting buyers looking for an alternative market, with average prices of €4,244/m², much lower than those in the southeastern mainland. On the flip side, Languedoc-Roussillon is seeing a significant decrease (-4.4%), despite some pockets of resistance like Palavas-les-Flots (+1.6%) at €5,634/m².
