How to Buy an Apartment in France (As a Foreigner) | Realtor Interview + €400K Tour

Ever dreamed of buying an apartment in France? ????????????
I sat down with a local realtor to break down exactly what it takes to purchase property as a foreigner — from visas and financing to the hidden costs no one talks about.

We even toured a real €400K apartment in the South of France ( villefranche-sur-mer) so you can see what your money gets you ✨

Whether you’re manifesting it or already house hunting… this one’s for you.

???? DM me on Instagram @jhanneu if you want the realtor’s info.
