Provence • Bordeaux • Nice • Antibes • French Alps (off-season)
Paris • Monaco • Saint-Tropez • Cannes • Courchevel • Chamonix
France's vacation rental market spans €85 to €210 per night — a 147% spread between the cheapest (Languedoc) and most expensive (French Alps) regions. The national average sits at €130/night, but smart travelers can save 30-40% by choosing the right region and timing.
The data tells a clear story: Southern France commands premium prices (Riviera, Provence, Alps), while the Atlantic coast (Brittany, Normandy) and inland regions (Dordogne, Loire Valley) offer exceptional value. Bordeaux stands out with the highest occupancy rate (72%) — a sign of strong demand and quality.
You visited the South of France — here's how Nice, Cannes, Antibes, Monaco, and more stack up.
The French Riviera spans just 70km of coastline but prices vary by 156% — from €125/night in Menton to €320/night in Saint-Tropez. The sweet spot? Nice offers the best overall value at €145/night with the region's best transport, culture, and walkability. For those seeking glamour without Monaco prices, Cannes delivers at €185/night.
The hidden gem is Menton — 14% cheaper than Nice, with Italian charm, quieter beaches, and France's mildest climate. It's 10 minutes from Monaco by train.
