“If the proximity of the sea is a major criterion in the choice of a place for a second home, some ski resorts still pull out of the game,” says Le Figaro Properties.

THE CRITERIA TAKEN, THE METHODOLOGY

The ranking is based on indicators such as the evolution and share of second homes in a city (INSEE sources); data from the base of Properties Le Figaro as the number of properties for sale over 3 years, the share of luxury goods (property, villa, cottage, farmhouse, bastide, castle, manor, loft, mansion …) on the market but also the proximity of leisure activities (seaside distance, ski slope, nearest golf course, equipment …), the living environment and the average duration of sunshine. A number of notes have been awarded. Each can refine his criteria according to his interests and build a scale of values à la carte.
