Location
Open in Google MapsLiving in Villefranche-sur-Mer
One of the most beautiful small towns on the French Riviera, with a deep sheltered harbor, pastel-colored waterfront, and Nice just 10 minutes away by train. It's expensive for its size but cheaper than neighboring Monaco or Cap-Ferrat. The pace is relaxed, the Mediterranean climate is ideal, and there's a long-established international community dating back centuries.
Morning baguettes from the corner boulangerie, two-hour lunches with wine that no one apologizes for, and the slow realization that the French were right about everything involving food.

Next steps for moving to France
Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.
Understand the buying rules
Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.
Sort out your visa
Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.
Plan your finances
Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.
Know your tax obligations
US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.
Set up healthcare
Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.
Run the full checklist
Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
