As the fall season begins, many property owners are wondering how to make the most of their real estate. What if seasonal rental were the ideal solution? On the French Riviera, this option is becoming increasingly popular, driven by steady demand—even outside the summer months. The HC Azur team explains why now is the perfect time to take the leap.

First of all, the French Riviera enjoys exceptional year-round tourist appeal. In September and October, the region continues to attract a wide variety of visitors: European retirees, remote workers, food and wine enthusiasts, or festivalgoers. These guests are looking for comfortable, well-located accommodations, often for stays ranging from a few days to several weeks. Listing your property for seasonal rental allows you to tap into this dynamic demand.

In addition, the income generated is often higher than with traditional long-term rentals. With flexible pricing and optimized management (cleaning, check-ins, calendar control), it’s possible to significantly increase your property’s profitability. Plus, you maintain the freedom to use your property whenever you wish—ideal if you want to enjoy it yourself from time to time.

This fall of 2025 is also marked by a shift in traveler behavior: guests now prefer private, well-equipped spaces over large hotel complexes. Apartments and houses with terraces, gardens, or sea views are especially sought after. If your property fits these criteria, it represents a real opportunity to seize right now.

Finally, the tax regime for short-term furnished rentals can be advantageous, especially under the micro-BIC regime, which offers a generous flat-rate deduction. However, it’s important to seek proper advice or support to ensure all administrative and legal requirements are met.

Do you own a property on the French Riviera but have reservations? Now is the perfect time to take the leap and maximise the potential of your property investment. The HC Azur team is here to advise you, evaluate your rental potential and support you throughout your seasonal rental project.
