Avenue Montaigne Leads Paris’ Most Expensive Streets Ranking for 2026
Paris, March 28 – Avenue Montaigne has been officially named the most expensive street in the French capital for 2026, commanding an average price of €23,993 per square meter. This revelation comes from SeLoger’s annual ranking of the 50 most expensive streets in major French cities, published on Friday.
The prestigious Avenue Montaigne, renowned for its luxury boutiques and haute couture houses, tops the list, solidifying its status as a prime location in Parisian real estate. The findings highlight a significant trend in the city’s property market, where several streets now boast prices exceeding €20,000 per square meter.
Other High-Value Parisian Locations
Beyond Avenue Montaigne, nine other Parisian streets featured in SeLoger’s ranking are valued at over €21,900 per square meter. These include notable addresses such as Rue Furstemberg, with an average price of €23,905 per square meter, Quai des Orfèvres at €22,332 per square meter, and Rue Palatine, reaching €22,312 per square meter.
This concentration of high-value properties underscores the enduring appeal and premium associated with central Parisian locations, particularly in areas known for their historical significance, cultural attractions, or luxury offerings.
Southern France Also Features Prominently
The national ranking also shows a strong presence from cities in the south of France, reflecting the desirability of these regions. Antibes, for instance, features Chemin de la Garoupe as its most expensive street, priced at €12,373 per square meter. Nice’s Avenue Jean-Lorrain reaches €12,052 per square meter, while Cannes’ Rue Gray Street is valued at €11,977 per square meter.
SeLoger’s analysis also revealed substantial price disparities within these southern cities. In Antibes and Nice, for example, these prestigious streets are more than twice as expensive as the local average, indicating a highly segmented real estate market where prime locations command exceptionally high premiums.
Lower End of the Spectrum and National Average
At the other end of the spectrum, the ranking also identifies cities with significantly more affordable real estate. Bourges’ Rue Joyeuse is listed at €2,125 per square meter, Limoges at €2,219 per square meter, and Saint-Etienne at €2,428 per square meter. These figures provide a stark contrast to the prices observed in Paris and the French Riviera, illustrating the vast regional differences in France’s property market.
Nationwide, the average real estate price in France stands at €3,124 per square meter, further emphasizing the exceptional value of properties in the most expensive Parisian streets.
