Are foreigners allowed to own property in Epinal?

"Yes, foreigners are allowed to own property in Epinal. Non-residents of France are able to purchase property in the same way as French citizens, however they must obtain a permit from the local prefecture in order to do so. This permit is known as a ‘carte de séjour’ and is required for any non-resident who wishes to purchase property in France. Additionally, non-residents must also provide proof of financial means and a valid passport in order to obtain the permit," remarked another expat in Epinal, France.
