12 Best Places(Regions) to Live or Retire in France

Olympus Mons is awesome but also, the Valles Marineris is to the Grand Canyon what Olympus Mons is to Everest. So yeah

Bonjour de France. Taxes are rising like never before!!! For 20 years now owning a flat or a small house on the "Côte d'Azur" or even in all Provence has becoming harder and harder. By super taxing owners the state is making of them tenants. In Paris 53% more taxe only this year!!!!! France has a monstrous debt and a huge African immigration, just saying...

As French many people leaving Paris 15% since 2010 they go mostly to areas of Bordeaux and Nantes ,and the retirees come to Bretagne where I live, simply the best.

First, the D-day invasion took place on more than Omaha Beach. Secondly, and MORE importantly, the D-day invasion was and is NOT infamous!!!

germany is better for retirement, france is too expensive et dirty

I had a villa near Perpignan for many years and would recommend it, beautiful scenery and beaches and not too busy! The sunniest place in France as well!

Not as long as Macron is in power. I’d rather go to Greece.

this is very useless production without any concrete useful information.

thousands of illegal immigrants risk their lives to get the hell out of France

Never see a refugee in my village

La Bretagne , magnifique. En septembre, personne sur les plages

Typical American - a pile of garbled dross - and the crucification of a language (well, they can't even speak English).

I live in Paris. I spent ten years exploring all the French regions. Then I went around other places (Hungary, Thailand, Spain, Portugal..). And finally - I couldn't choose. So now I'm retired, I'm still in Paris which has the best Air, Rail and Road links and I just go and visit places.

But how do we do this now that Brexit has closed the door?

Pakistan 🇵🇰

This is rubbish people in France buy houses to live in not for investment (typical US Attitude) Therefor house prices rise very slowly especially in rural districts

Why didn't you mention climate as a factor? Lille is nice from May to September. Then the rain, mist and cold come off the North Sea and rip your hide off. You also freeze your ass of in Brittany, Grand Est, and Normandy (which, btw, is know for a hell of a lot more than Omaha Beach). Oh, and although you gave brief mention to some wines, the beers in Strasbourg are some of the smoothest and easiest to drink lagers in the world.

Best place to retire in France ? Easy anywhere there's lot of Goed koop woning.

I love Corsica 🥰

Swarmed by refugees, no thank you 🥰

Marseille didn’t make the list. It was the capital of the region that was #1 on the list

Provence is the best region of the world. Even better than Tuscany. Yes, I said that.

Nice, Antibes, Cannes, Avignon, Arles, Nimes, Aix, ChateauNeuf Da Pape.

Can’t beat it.

France is a country to retire in, you must be joking rite??? Insecurity, high taxes rates, its a precarious country, at always riots, demonstrations.

I'm shocked Marseilles made to this list.
I thought the same people who hate Paris would hate Marseilles because it is France's main port for drug smuggling. Thus, breeding the violence of that city.

I love southern France.

Excellent
