Short-term rental is now a genuine profitability lever for owners, and the French Riviera remains a region particularly sought after by travelers from around the world.
A year-round tourist destination
Unlike other, more seasonal resort towns, Nice benefits from tourist and business visitor traffic spread across the year: beach tourism in summer, conferences and events the rest of the year, and an international clientele drawn by Nice Côte d'Azur Airport, the second busiest in France.
Strong international demand
Old Nice, Promenade des Anglais, Carré d'Or: these neighborhoods concentrate steady demand from international travelers, often willing to pay a premium for a central location and a polished stay experience.
A market that's still accessible compared to the rest of the coast
Compared to Cannes or Saint-Tropez, the price per square meter in Nice remains, in many neighborhoods, more accessible for a comparable tourist rental yield — a key factor for investment profitability.
Risks to be aware of
This profitability requires rigorous management: local regulations, seasonality to plan for outside July-August, and growing competition between listings that demands professional positioning and management.
