Rents vary widely across France

L'Anil, the National Agency for Housing Information, has analyzed long-term furnished rental prices in France using data from the websites Leboncoin and SeLoger. The study found significant differences in rent prices between the cheapest and most expensive urban areas in the first quarter of 2026.

Lowest and highest rents identified

According to the study, the lowest rent for a furnished apartment was 9.6 euros per square meter in Flers, while the highest was 40.6 euros per square meter in Saint-Tropez. These figures highlight the wide range of rental prices across different regions of France.

Paris and surrounding areas have high rents

Paris and its surrounding areas, including Seine-et-Marne, Oise, Yvelines, and Essonne, showed some of the highest rental prices, averaging 29.1 euros per square meter in Paris itself. These areas are known for their high demand and limited housing supply.

Mediterranean and Swiss border areas also expensive

The Mediterranean coast, particularly around Saint-Tropez, recorded the highest rents in the study. Other areas near the Swiss border, such as the Genevois and parts of Haute-Savoie, also showed high rental prices, with some urban units exceeding 20 euros per square meter.

Overseas territories have high rents too

The study found that overseas departments and regions also have high rents for furnished apartments. In places like Reunion, Martinique, Guyana, and Guadeloupe, several urban units recorded rents above 20 euros per square meter, similar to those seen in mainland France.
