There’s a wealth of opportunities for U.S. buyers looking to invest in a primary residence, vacation home, or a rental property. Whether you’re drawn to the bustling elegance of Nice, the star-studded allure of Cannes, or the serene coastal villages like Villefranche-sur-Mer, the Côte d’Azur is a prime destination for real estate investment. And now, with exciting new financial services tailored for Americans, purchasing your dream property has never been easier—or more cost-effective.
Why the French Riviera?
The Côte d’Azur has long been a magnet for international buyers, and Americans are no exception. Its appeal lies in its year-round mild climate, stunning sea views, and a lifestyle that seamlessly blends relaxation with sophistication. The region boasts a robust real estate market with options for every budget and taste, from newly built apartments with state-of-the-art amenities to charming older homes steeped in Provençal character.
With over 5,000 properties available, buyers can choose a home that suits their needs, whether it’s a pied-à-terre for seasonal escapes or a permanent relocation to this sun-drenched paradise. Did you ever consider retiring on the French Riviera? Life can be a dream! The Cote d’Azur offers a high quality of life: excellent healthcare, a rich cultural scene, and proximity to major European cities via Nice Côte d’Azur Airport. All this makes it an ideal spot for Americans seeking a foothold in Europe. And with interest in relocating from the U.S. to France at an all-time high, now is the perfect time to explore this vibrant market.
A Game-Changing Partnership for U.S. Buyers
Purchasing property abroad often comes with financial hurdles, from navigating exchange rates to managing international banking fees. Fortunately, a groundbreaking development is set to make the process smoother and more affordable for American buyers. As of April 8, 2025 our FX partner Currencies Direct, a leading foreign exchange (FX) provider is now live across all 50 U.S. states—a milestone. This expansion means U.S. clients, no matter where they reside—from Alaska to Wyoming—can now access full, unrestricted FX services to facilitate their property purchases on the French Riviera.
Previously, Currencies Direct covered roughly 70% of the U.S., but many states faced limitations. For example, clients in New York or Maryland could only transfer funds to personal accounts or legal entities, leaving them unable to pay landlords or secure rentals. Other states, like Colorado and Ohio, were entirely excluded. Now, thanks to a strategic partnership with Cross River Bank, these barriers are a thing of the past. All new U.S. clients will register under Currencies Direct’s CDINC legal entity, receiving a virtual IBAN (VIBAN) in their name for easy fund receipt, and can make payments via wire transfer or ACH into a U.S.-based client dollar account. Debit card payments are also in the pipeline, promising even greater convenience.
What does this mean for you as an American buyer? By working with Living on the Cote d’Azur and Currencies Direct, you get a tailormade selection of the properties you would like to buy. Plus, you will save thousands in banking fees and enjoy competitive exchange rates when transferring funds for your French property purchase. During the selection and buying process, our team, including an English-speaking notary, will guide you all the way. We both know what service is!
