What daily life looks like in this area
Daily life revolves around the steep terrain characteristic of the Corniches; while the 'coastal' proximity is high, walking back from the harbor involves significant elevation gain. Local shops in the old town are authentic but the area becomes extremely congested during summer months.

Wealth tax kicks in above €1.3M
If your French property (or properties combined) is worth more than €1.3M on 1 January, France charges an annual wealth tax of 0.5% to 1.5% on the amount above that. Foreign owners only count their French property, not assets elsewhere.
