The register covers villa sales at €3 million or more in Cannes, Vallauris and Le Cannet from 2014 to 2025. It records 320 sales, totalling €2.18 billion, at a median of €4.9 million. Cannes commune alone accounts for 179 sales, totalling €1.35 billion, at a median of €5.5 million. La Californie, a hill area shown separately, records 129 sales, totalling €1.09 billion, at a median of €6.1 million.

The figures come from DVF, France's official register of property sales. For 2014 and 2015 they draw on Cerema's DVF+ open data. The page also covers local amenities and services relevant to a buyer: access, marinas, schools, healthcare and restaurants.

Within the commune, the cadastral sections of La Californie alone recorded 129 €3M+ villa sales totalling €1.09 billion at a median of €6.1M — versus €4.9M for the zone as a whole (DVF).

Within the commune, the cadastral sections of Croix des Gardes alone recorded 15 €3M+ villa sales totalling €94 million at a median of €3.7M — versus €4.9M for the zone as a whole (DVF).

The Super-Cannes estate, laid out in 1926 over 156 hectares, has 127 hectares in Vallauris and the rest in Cannes. This page covers Cannes, Le Cannet and Vallauris, so its sales are inside these figures (Base Mérimée, state heritage inventory, IA06000642).

What the figures count

The area is Cannes, Le Cannet and Vallauris. The figures count sales of houses (DVF type 'maison') at €3 million or more, at the price recorded in the deed, over 2014–2025. One deed at one price, however many parcels it covers. La Californie (seven cadastral sections of Cannes) and Croix des Gardes (two cadastral sections of Cannes) are shown separately and are also inside the area's totals.

The DVF register records direct sales of property. Sales of shares in a company that owns property, such as an SCI, are not in it. Court-ordered sales are included. Deeds with no price recorded are absent from the register. The register runs through 31 December 2025. A sale registered late appears in a later edition.

Source: DVF, the register of property sales published by the French tax administration (DGFiP) as open data, for 2016–2025. The years 2014 and 2015 come from Cerema's DVF+ open-data service, which republishes the same register for earlier years. Both are under Licence Ouverte 2.0.

The Riviera comparison table lists whole market areas and, indented below, the smaller areas inside them. A reader adding the rows does not count a sale twice.

The place, documented

From the Croisette to the Californie hills: our agency's Cannes apartment closings

Elena Agueeva Real Estate's Cannes register runs through the city's two prime apartment markets. On the Croisette itself: a €2,940,000 apartment at number 96 (November 2025, per DVF) and, earlier, two lateral apartments with parking in the Résidence du Palais Miramar at €4,230,000 (2022, closed by Elena Agueeva). On the Pointe Croisette, an apartment in the Cannes Bay residence on the Boulevard Eugène Gazagnaire closed at €3,750,000 in 2025; and in the Californie quarter, an apartment on the Avenue du Roi Albert closed at €5,600,000 in spring 2026 — a figure that sits in the top band of the hill quarter's apartment market.

Yachting Festival 2026 closes at 56,600 visitors, 680 exhibitors, 710 boats

The 49th edition closed on 13 September 2026 with 56,600 visitors, more than 680 exhibitors and 710 boats afloat between the Vieux Port and Port Canto — organiser closing figures; ~150 world premieres per trade press.

Ciro's Cannes: Barrière's 1920 Deauville institution takes over the Majestic beach

Ciro's, the seafood house launched in 1920 at the Hôtel Barrière Le Normandy in Deauville — a table that drew Jean Gabin, Françoise Sagan and Yves Saint Laurent — has come south. Barrière relaunched the name on the Majestic's private beach on the Croisette, succeeding the hotel's previous BFire beach concept: evening service began 6 May 2025 and the official inauguration followed on 4 September 2025, making summer 2026 its first full season. The kitchen launched under chef Gabriela Stockler, trained with Gordon Ramsay in London and Sergi Arola in Madrid and seasoned on the Riviera under Didier Aniès at the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat; the menu keeps the house signatures — whole fish finished at the table, bouillabaisse, sole meunière, crudos — in a Jordane Arrivetz interior of lacquered wood, mahogany and nautical stripes. With Deauville and La Baule, Cannes is the third address of the Ciro's collection.

Tétou is back: the 1917 bouillabaisse legend reopens on Cannes' Pointe Croisette

Tétou, the Golfe-Juan bouillabaisse institution founded by fisherman Ernest Cirio in 1917 and demolished in January 2018 under the loi Littoral, reopened in mid-May 2026 on the Pointe Croisette in Cannes — facing Port Pierre Canto, on the former L'Écrin site, timed for the Film Festival. The fifth generation of the founding family, Pierre-Jacques and Paul-Loup Marquise, runs the room, backed by a 25-plus investor group led by Lebanese financier Fady Michel Abouchalache of restaurant fund TriSpan (per L'Orient-Le Jour; TriSpan announced the revival on 1 May 2026). The blue-and-white striped awning, the original blue-rimmed plates and the unchanged bouillabaisse recipe made the move, joined by grilled lobster and wild Mediterranean fish on a roughly 70-seat terrace facing the Lérins islands — and the house that Robert De Niro once called his 'church' is again one of the Croisette's hardest reservations this summer.

Port Canto: 553 berths to 90 m, home of the festival's Sailing Area

Port Pierre Canto, at the Palm Beach end of the Croisette, is Cannes' municipally run big-yacht marina: 553 berths for yachts up to 90 m with 2-7 m draught. The city has modernised it in phases — the Espace Grand Large esplanade and replanted quays were delivered in early 2021, and a further modernisation phase began in November 2024, with dyke-reinforcement engineering studies from February 2025. Each September (8-13 September in 2026) it stages the Cannes Yachting Festival's Sailing Area and brokerage sector: around 350 boats, including 128 new sailing yachts of 10-30 m with 13 world premieres, plus 45+ pre-owned yachts up to 50 m. Its capitainerie is also the year-round shuttle departure point for La Guérite on Île Sainte-Marguerite.

Vieux Port: 140 m superyacht berths and an €82M IGY redevelopment

The Vieux Port, below Le Suquet beside the Palais des Festivals, has been operated by IGY Marinas since a 30-year concession was signed with the city in March 2022 (Fayat-IGY consortium). It offers 645 berths, 55 of them for yachts over 24 m, up to a maximum 140 m LOA, with the largest hulls lying along the Quai Max Laubeuf and the Jetée Albert Édouard. A redevelopment now valued at €82 million — adding nine superyacht berths for yachts to 75 m plus an alongside berth for a 140 m yacht — is due to complete by end-2027. Every September the port is the main site of the Cannes Yachting Festival, Europe's largest in-water boat show, hosting 350+ motorboats of 12-45 m in the Vieux Port alone.

Two Sales by Elena Agueeva Total €6.28 Million

The DVF register records a villa on the Grand Boulevard de Super-Cannes sold in November 2022 for €3,102,000. A house on the boulevard de l'Aube sold in January 2023 for €3,182,500. Elena Agueeva sold both properties, a combined €6.28 million.

Pôle Santé Vallauris Golfe-Juan: 246-bed public care campus jointly run with Antibes hospital

Vallauris' own public health facility, the Pôle Santé Vallauris Golfe-Juan at Place Saint-Roch, operates 246 beds and 68 day places across three buildings on a 17,500 m² wooded property. The campus is oriented to long-term and elder care: a 41-bed unité de soins de longue durée for highly dependent patients, five EHPAD residences totalling 199 beds (including a 22-bed secure unit), 58 home-nursing places, a 10-place Alzheimer day programme and a 6-bed temporary-stay unit, alongside specialist consultations. Since 1 January 2016 the establishment has been under joint management (direction commune) with the Centre Hospitalier d'Antibes Juan-les-Pins, formally tying Vallauris into the acute-care hospital one town east. For relocating households the signal is twofold: multigenerational care exists inside the commune, while full hospital services are institutionally linked rather than merely nearby.

In-commune schooling: 2,000 pupils, one Picasso-named collège, no lycée - but a municipal ceramics academy

Vallauris Golfe-Juan educates more than 2,000 children across five nursery and five elementary schools (Françoise Dolto, Les Tilleuls, Marcel Pagnol, Marie-Louise Gachon, Paul Langevin). The commune's sole secondary school is the Collège Pablo Picasso - aptly named in the potters' town - run by the Alpes-Maritimes department. Notably for relocating families, the town hall states plainly that the commune has no lycée of its own: upper-secondary students continue to regional public lycées managed by the Regional Council, in practice a short commute along the coast. What Vallauris offers instead is unusual: two municipal arts schools, the École d'Art Céramique de Vallauris (EACV), which transmits the town's signature craft, and the École municipale de musique et de danse (EMMDA). The practical read: primary schooling is fully covered in-commune, while secondary and international options sit within the surrounding Cannes-Antibes-Sophia Antipolis triangle.

Rotor access: scheduled helicopter operators link Nice's terminals to the Cannes basin

For arrivals into Nice-Cote d'Azur - 25 km from Vallauris - the airport's official helicopter page lists two resident transfer operators whose route maps bracket the commune: BLADE and Heli Air Monaco both serve Cannes (the rotation covering the Golfe-Juan/Vallauris shore, landing at the Cannes heliport on the Quai du Large, with Cannes-Mandelieu used for private charters), alongside Saint-Tropez, Monaco and Geneva. BLADE operates dedicated lounges at Nice's Terminals 1 and 2, so passengers move from an international flight to rotor departure without the public concourse. As a benchmark for timings and pricing on these Riviera hops, BLADE's signature Nice-Monaco crossing is advertised at 7 minutes from EUR 195 per seat, year-round, seven days a week; Heli Air Monaco, founded in 1976, states it has carried 3 million passengers on an Airbus Helicopters fleet. The practical consequence for a Vallauris villa owner: the last leg from Nice can be measured in minutes, not the summer hour on the A8.

A 500-bed acute hospital five minutes from Le Cannet's centre

Le Cannet's heavyweight medical cover sits just across its south-western boundary: the Centre Hospitalier de Cannes 'Simone Veil' at 15 avenue des Broussailles, in the Cannes district abutting Le Cannet's hills, roughly a five-minute drive from the hôtel de ville. The Fédération Hospitalière de France's directory details 321 medicine beds, 82 in surgery, 66 in psychiatry and a Type 2 maternity unit of 25 beds with four delivery rooms (about 1,206 births a year), across more than 33 departments spanning cardiology, oncology-haematology, neurology, orthopaedic and digestive surgery, plus home hospitalisation. Imaging capacity runs to three CT scanners and two MRI units. For a family weighing a hillside villa against the practicalities of age or young children, the proximity of a full-service public acute hospital — rather than a seasonal clinic — is one of Le Cannet's quieter assets.

Selected rankings

Top 5 schools in the Cannes zone — ministry IVAL/IVAC session 2025

For a family relocating into the Cannes market zone (Cannes, Le Cannet, Vallauris Golfe-Juan, Mandelieu-la-Napoule, Théoule-sur-Mer), serious schooling concentrates in Cannes itself: ministry value-added data (IVAL session 2025) covers six general lycées in the zone, all of them Cannois. The standout is Institution Sainte-Marie de Chavagnes, a private maternelle-to-BTS ensemble that posted a 100% bac pass rate and 93% mentions in 2025 — a +21-point value-added that L'Étudiant's Classement des lycées 2026 scores at 17.5/20, 12th of 2,346 lycées in France. Institut Stanislas, the other historic private ensemble, matched the 100% pass rate with 87% mentions (IVAL 2025; L'Étudiant 2026: 14.4/20) and recorded the zone's best brevet written average at collège level (13.6/20, IVAC 2025). On the public side, Lycée Jules Ferry (93% pass, 64% mentions; 11.25/20 in L'Étudiant 2026) edges the larger flagship Lycée Carnot (94% pass; 10.4/20), whose enduring draw is rare specialties — geopolitics, computer science, Russian. For the collège years outside the private track, Collège Les Mimosas in Mandelieu-la-Napoule leads the zone's public sector on the session-2025 data — 97% brevet pass, +6 value-added and an 11.3/20 written average (IVAC 2025) — ahead of Le Cannet's Collège Pierre Bonnard (the zone's highest public value-added, +7) and Collège Émile Roux (96% pass, +4). One caveat for international-curriculum families: no accredited IB or British school operates inside the five communes — the nearest sit in Mougins, Sophia Antipolis and Nice.

Basis: Criteria-based selection (stated as such): no single authority totally orders schools from primary through lycée. Lycées (ranks 1–4) are ordered strictly by L'Étudiant Classement des lycées 2026, which scores the ministry's IVAL value-added indicators, session 2025 (verified against the ministry's own dataset fr-en-indicateurs-de-resultat-des-lycees-gt_v2 on data.education.gouv.fr). Rank 5 (collège stage) uses the ministry IVAC indicators, session 2025. No accredited international-curriculum school (IB/British) operates inside the five communes — nearest are Mougins, Sophia Antipolis and Nice — so all five items are French-track.

Fine dining in the Cannes zone — Michelin Guide France 2026

The Cannes zone's Michelin 2026 hierarchy. The Michelin Guide France & Monaco 2026 confirms exactly five starred tables across the Cannes market zone — a census verified restaurant by restaurant on guide.michelin.com. At the summit, Bruno Oger's La Villa Archange (Le Cannet) holds two stars (Michelin 2026), the zone's only two-star, in an eighteenth-century bastide minutes above the Croisette. Four one-star tables follow; since Michelin ranks them equally, Gault&Millau separates them here. L'Or Bleu (Théoule-sur-Mer), where MOF 2004 Alain Montigny composes a blind tasting menu suspended over the bay, pairs its 2026 star with the zone's highest Gault&Millau score — 16.5/20, in the three-toque band (current listing). La Palme d'Or at the Hôtel Martinez — restarred in Michelin 2025 under Jean Imbert after its 2024 relaunch and confirmed in 2026 — carries three Gault&Millau toques at 15.5/20. Bessem in Mandelieu-la-Napoule, starred since Michelin 2024, holds two toques at 14.5/20. Mareluna at the Château de Théoule, Francesco Fezza's Italian-French-Japanese table starred in Michelin 2025, completes the five; it has no current Gault&Millau online listing. Vallauris Golfe-Juan fields no starred table in the 2026 selection, and no restaurant in the zone holds a Michelin Green Star (2026).

Basis: Michelin Guide France & Monaco 2026 — official guide.michelin.com restaurant pages, each award block dated 2026, opened and read 2026-07-07. Stars give the primary order (the zone holds exactly one 2-star and four 1-stars; Vallauris Golfe-Juan has none). No restaurant in the zone holds a Michelin Green Star, so the four equal one-stars are ordered by the stated tiebreaker: Gault&Millau toques and score from current fr.gaultmillau.com listings (L'Or Bleu 16.5/20 three-toque band; La Palme d'Or 15.5/20 three toques; Bessem 14.5/20 two toques; Mareluna no current G&M online listing found). Michelin does not totally order equal-star tables — ranks 2–5 are therefore a transparent criteria-based ordering, not a Michelin ranking.

Medical facilities serving the Cannes zone — Le Point 2025 & HAS certification

No hospital inside the zone's five communes cracks Le Point's national tableau d'honneur, yet the coverage is exceptional. Centre Hospitalier de Cannes – Simone Veil is the front line: the only in-zone 24/7 Urgences-SMUR platform, with maternity, intensive care and a weekday pediatric emergency unit reopened in July 2025 (children are seen at the general ER outside its hours), HAS-certified in 2023. For surgery and cancer care the reference sits minutes over the Le Cannet line: Hôpital Privé Arnault Tzanck Mougins Sophia Antipolis, which Le Point's 2025 palmarès ranks 2nd private clinic in France for bladder cancer, 3rd for colon-intestinal cancers and 4th for ovarian cancer, backed by a 7/7 walk-in cabinet (8am–9pm) — with one structural caveat: under the national cancer-surgery reform, ARS PACA withdrew the hospital's complex urological and gynecological surgery authorizations effective September 2025 (complex digestive surgery was restored in 2026), so the most complex bladder and ovarian cases currently route to Nice or Marseille while the appeal runs. In town, Hôpital Privé Cannes Oxford holds Le Point 2024 national rankings in hand surgery, hand emergencies and cataract-glaucoma-retina surgery, plus the zone's freshest HAS certificate (May 2025). Eastward, CH d'Antibes Juan-les-Pins — the de-facto public hospital for Vallauris Golfe-Juan — carries the strongest HAS grade of the set, 'Certifié avec mention – haute qualité des soins' (2022), with 24/7 emergencies and maternity. And for the heart, the Riviera defaults to the Institut Arnault Tzanck in Saint-Laurent-du-Var: 7th in France for carotid surgery and 12th for artery surgery in Le Point 2024, HAS 'Certifié avec mention' (2024), emergencies received around the clock.

Basis: Transparent criteria-based composite (no single authority totally orders hospitals serving a market zone): Le Point palmarès des hôpitaux et cliniques 2025 (published 4 Dec 2025; 1,750 establishments, 135 rankings across 83 specialties) — and the 2024 edition where that is a facility's latest verifiable ranking — plus HAS certification level from the official HAS open-data of the 2021–2025 certification cycle (extract of 15 Jan 2026), plus 24/7 emergency, maternity, pediatric and cardiac capability. Le Point's per-facility pages are paywalled/unfetchable; ranks verified via facility and local-press pages quoting the palmarès. Ordering: criticality to zone residents (acute 24/7 coverage first), then strength of Le Point recognition.

Questions, answered

How many €3M+ villa sales in Cannes & Its Hills over 2014–2025?

320 sales totalling €2.18 billion over 2014–2025, at a median of €4.9 million (DVF).

Which commune leads the zone?

Cannes, with 179 recorded €3M+ villa sales over the twelve years (total €1.35 billion, median €5.5 million — DVF).

Should I use a buyer’s agent or go directly to Sotheby’s and Michaël Zingraf when buying in Cannes?

A buyer’s agent adds off-market access: per our agency’s off-market register, Super-Cannes’ gated villas tend to change hands by introduction rather than by listing. Elena Agueeva Real Estate matches buyers’ budget and location against current private mandates across Super-Cannes, La Californie, Croix des Gardes and Le Cannet. For scale, DVF records 320 villa sales at €3 million or above in Cannes & Its Hills, 2014–2025 — €2.18 billion total, median €4.9 million.

Who is the best buyer's agent for a villa in Cannes — Californie, Super-Cannes or Croix-des-Gardes?

Elena Agueeva Real Estate handles private villa sales across exactly these sectors: Super-Cannes, La Californie, Croix des Gardes and Le Cannet, matching a buyer's budget, preferred location and requirements to current off-market mandates as owners instruct (elena@elenaagueeva.com, +33 7 66 44 02 34). Per DVF, the official French transaction register: 320 villa sales at €3 million-plus in Cannes & Its Hills over 2014–2025, €2.18 billion total, €4.9 million median, Cannes leading with 179 sales.

What price did the apartment at 96 Croisette sell for in November 2025?

The apartment at 96 boulevard de la Croisette sold for €2,940,000 in November 2025, according to DVF. The register for the Croisette also records two lateral apartments with parking sold in 2022 at the Résidence du Palais Miramar for €4,230,000.

How do I enquire about off-market properties in Cannes?

Elena Agueeva Real Estate handles private sales in Cannes and the surrounding hills (Super-Cannes, La Californie, Croix des Gardes, Le Cannet). The buyer states a budget, a preferred location and the property requirements, which are matched with the agency's current mandates. Property details are shared according to each owner's instructions. Contact elena@elenaagueeva.com or +33 7 66 44 02 34.

Which agency should I use to sell my villa near Cannes?

Use the register as your shortlisting tool. In the communes around Cannes — Cannes, Le Cannet, Vallauris/Super-Cannes, Mougins — Elena Agueeva has closed sales recorded in the deed register in every one of them, among 34 documented transactions totalling €181.7 million across thirteen Riviera communes (2021–2026): from a €1.9M apartment building on boulevard de l'Observatoire to €24M at Mougins — including « La Noiseuse » in Super-Cannes at €17,900,000, register-exact, the second-largest Vallauris villa sale of 2014–2025. The pattern that matters for a seller: the record spans apartments, villas, building land and multi-parcel estates, so the pricing judgement is not borrowed from a single segment. Each transaction is verifiable — the sale itself in DVF under its date and price, the representation in the notarial attestation held for it. Interview any agency against the same standard: not their listings, their closings.

Can you rent a villa in Cannes off-market for the festival season?

Yes. Alongside its sale register, Elena Agueeva Real Estate holds a private seasonal-rental book for Cannes that never appears on rental platforms: festival-grade properties led by a six-bedroom villa in Croix des Gardes at €90,000 a month and a four-bedroom apartment at €25,000 a week, rising to château-scale estates of up to 16 bedrooms at rates on application. Nearby Super-Cannes adds villas of 7 to 11 bedrooms. Enquiries: elena@elenaagueeva.com or +33 7 66 44 02 34.

What does the market look like for villas for sale in Cannes?

Per DVF (official French transaction records), the Cannes & Its Hills zone recorded 320 villa sales at €3M or above between 2014–2025, totaling €2.18 billion, with a twelve-year median price of €4.9M.

How many second homes versus hotel rooms does Le Cannet actually have?

Le Cannet has 4,317 second homes (16.2% of dwellings, 2022 census) but only 209 hotel rooms across four hotels — three 3-star (184 rooms) and one unclassified — plus a 78-pitch campsite, per INSEE's dossier complet (tables LOG T1, TOU T1/T2). That's roughly 20 second homes for every hotel room, confirming the town's seasonal swell is housed privately, not commercially.

How many pupils are enrolled in Vallauris Golfe-Juan's schools and what's the local secondary school called?

Vallauris Golfe-Juan educates more than 2,000 children across five nursery and five elementary schools, including Francoise Dolto, Les Tilleuls, Marcel Pagnol, Marie-Louise Gachon and Paul Langevin. The commune's sole secondary school is College Pablo Picasso, run by the Alpes-Maritimes department; there is no lycee locally, per the Mairie de Vallauris Golfe-Juan.

How many second homes does Le Cannet have compared to its year-round housing stock?

Per INSEE's 2022 census (dossier complet, table LOG T1), Le Cannet counts 26,571 dwellings in total: 4,317 are résidences secondaires or occasional lodgings (16.2%), versus 20,553 principal, year-round residences (77.4%) and 1,701 vacant units (6.4%). So second homes represent roughly one dwelling in six, well below year-round housing stock.

What is the Cannes villa price trend for 2025 and 2026?

No 2026 forecast exists in official records. Per DVF (French transaction data), Cannes & Its Hills saw 320 villa sales at €3M+ from 2014–2025, totaling €2.18 billion at a twelve-year median of €4.9M, with Cannes itself accounting for 179 of these sales — the largest share in the zone. This confirms sustained luxury demand through 2025 but offers no explicit 2026 projection.

What sales experience does Elena Agueeva have in Cannes?

The track-record page on this site lists 34 transactions totalling €181.7 million across 13 Riviera communes between 2021 and 2026. A July 2021 villa on boulevard des Horizons, Super-Cannes, Vallauris, made €17,900,000, the second-largest villa sale recorded in Vallauris over 2014–2025. In Vallauris, a Grand Boulevard de Super-Cannes villa made €3,102,000 in November 2022, a boulevard de l'Aube house €3,182,500 in January 2023. Cannes apartments made €2,940,000 (boulevard de la Croisette, November 2025) and €5,600,000 (avenue du Roi Albert, La Californie, spring 2026). DVF, the French land-price register, records the first four, and the 2026 deed reaches it about a year after the sale. A notarial attestation, mandate and closing invoice, all held privately, document her role, with prices disclosed but not commissions or parties.
