La Croisette Apartments — The 10-Year Front-Line Market

EN / FR

elenaagueeva.com › Riviera Intelligence › La Croisette Apartments

Every qualified apartment sale on the Croisette front line over ten years — built exclusively on isolated single-apartment sales — read by count, by value, by €/m², and through the register's largest sales.

619 apartment sales on one boulevard, and a €12.00M ceiling

What the state register of property sales (DVF, published by the French tax administration) records for the front line of Cannes, 2016–2025

There is one row of buildings, and the beach is on the other side

La Croisette is the seafront boulevard of Cannes, running east from the old port, past the Palais des Festivals, to the marina of Port Canto. The beaches and their jetties hold the seaward side, so the buildings stand in a single row on the land side. This report counts the apartment sales at those boulevard addresses. The cadastral sections they belong to reach inland to the rue d'Antibes; the apartments in that hinterland trade differently and are left out.

The boulevard is an apartment market: in the same ten years it recorded 3 house sales, the largest at €13.95M, against 619 apartment sales. What is bought here is used a few weeks a year and left secure the rest of the time. The town's calendar keeps those weeks full. The property fair MIPIM brings more than 20,000 delegates to the Palais each March, and Cannes Lions some 15,000 more each June, on the organiser's own figures (RX France). The Film Festival, the Yachting Festival and MIPCOM take much of the rest of the year.

These figures understate the top of the market. The register lists sales of the property itself, and an apartment of this rank often changes hands as shares in the company that holds it (an SCI, the French property-holding company). A sale of shares never enters the register at all.

Ten years put €932M through 619 sales

Sales by year above, value by year below — each column stacked by price band

The same 619 sales, year by year

The readable series behind the two charts — same query, same qualification

The middle price per square metre rose 48% in ten years, to 20 090 €

Median price per square metre of Carrez floor area, and the spread around it

The floor area used here is the register's own Carrez figure — the surface a French sale contract must state. It covers the apartment, not its cellar or its parking space, and it is missing on 124 of the 619 sales, which is why every rate on this page rests on the other 495. Where the recorded surface covers only part of an apartment, the rate that comes out of it reads far too high: the highest on record here is 65 321 € a square metre, from a €5.50M sale entered with 84 m². The page therefore quotes middles, and the range around them, rather than extremes.

The 12 most recent recorded sales

Newest first · month of deed, floor area, rooms and price · every address on this page is the boulevard itself, and no house number is printed

The ten largest sales top out at €12.00M

Year of deed, floor area, rooms and annexes conveyed with the apartment

Annexes are the cellars and parking spaces conveyed in the same deed; their price is inside the figure and their surface is not. “—” marks a sale for which the register records no floor area, so no rate can be shown.

What these figures give for one property: a valuation in 48 hours

This report covers the whole perimeter. Our agency also values a single property, with the same method and the same official sources an expert immobilier works from: the state's register of sales, the cadastre, and the local plan.

One of our agents visits to appraise the view, the garden, and the quality of the construction and the finishes. You receive an avis de valeur (a written valuation opinion) within 48 hours, with every comparable sale named and traceable to its registered deed.

How these figures were built, and where they stop. The area this report covers is the front line itself: apartments whose address is the boulevard, from the old port to Port Canto. One sale often enters the register as several rows: the apartment, its cellar, its parking space. Those rows describe one sale, and this page follows that rule throughout — each sale counted once. A sale is analysed only where the deed describes one apartment changing hands at an identifiable price: records that bundle several apartments, or an apartment with a shop or a house, are set aside and never averaged in. The Prices are the figures the register holds, annexes included where they were conveyed in the same deed. The register records sales of the property itself: a sale of the company that owns it (SCI) never appears, and apartments of this rank commonly trade that way, so the register understates the top of this market. Rates per square metre use the recorded Carrez area and only the 495 sales that carry one. The window opens in 2016 for a reason: the register's Cannes apartment records for 2014 and 2015 carry no address, no cadastral reference and no floor area. Those 3,678 records cannot be placed on any boulevard, and none of them enters a figure here. The window ends where the published register ends, on 31 December 2025; sales completed after that date are in no figure here.

Where do these figures come from?

From « Demandes de Valeurs Foncières » (DVF), Direction générale des Finances publiques — the only official record of French property transactions — with each sale counted once by the Elena Agueeva Intelligence Unit, even when it covers several parcels.
