How do I find a place to live in French Riviera?

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:

"To find a place to live in the French Riviera, you can start by researching the different cities and towns in the region, such as Nice, Cannes, Antibes, and Saint-Tropez, to determine which area best suits your lifestyle and budget. Once you have chosen a location, you can visit local real estate agencies or search online property websites, such as Seloger, Logic-Immo, or Leboncoin, to find available apartments or houses for rent or sale. It is also helpful to join expat forums and Facebook groups for the French Riviera, where you can ask for recommendations and advice from people who have already gone through the process of finding a place to live in the area. Additionally, consider visiting the region in person to explore neighborhoods, attend property viewings, and meet with real estate agents to get a better understanding of the local housing market. Finally, be prepared to provide necessary documents, such as proof of income and identification, when applying for a rental or purchasing a property, and consider hiring a bilingual lawyer or notary to assist with any legal matters related to your housing search," explained one expat living in French Riviera, France.
