Par Yann Vernerie. Nice is one of the largest cities in France — blessed with year-round sunshine, breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea, and a dynamic local economy. In addition to being an economic hub like Paris, Lyon, or Bordeaux, Nice is also a renowned seaside resort for much of the year. This combination of factors naturally drives real estate prices upward. However, when investing significant amounts — often backed by long-term loans exceeding fifteen years — buyers must proceed with caution and take time to understand the city’s unique characteristics. Indeed, Nice is not a uniform city; it’s a mosaic of diverse neighborhoods where working-class areas coexist with prestigious luxury real estate.
