The French Riviera has been a top destination for almost the past two centuries. From the holidaying British aristocracy in the 1850s to the global jetset of today, the Côte d’Azur remains the location to see and be seen. The region maintains a reputation of luxury for both primary and secondary residences by ticking all of the boxes for leisure, lifestyle, connectivity and international reputation.

Even as new hot-spot second-home destinations enter the global consciousness, the Riviera will likely remain at the top over the longer term as there are very few locations which can match the heritage, amenities, and calibre of the local prime residential property.
