Albert Camus: “Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.”
On the French Riviera, autumn signals renewal. Whether you own a prestigious home in Cannes, an apartment in Nice, or a villa on Cap d’Antibes, this is the perfect time to look after your second residence.
Even on the Riviera, a property left vacant for several months requires regular supervision to preserve its value and ensure comfort for future stays.
Pool, heating, air conditioning, garden, terraces, technical checks… every detail matters to keep the property in perfect working order, so that every visit remains pleasant, worry-free, and safeguards your investment over time.
For our Scandinavian and international clients, monitoring the condition of a property from afar is often complicated.
How can you be sure everything is in order? Who should you contact in case of a problem or to prepare your next visit?
That’s exactly where we come into the picture.
At AAA Riviera, we go beyond buying or selling prestigious homes and apartments on the French Riviera.
We also offer our clients, if they wish, personalized follow-up for their secondary residences, adapted to their specific needs.
This may include occasional support such as attending a co-owners’ general meeting, handling a technical issue (leaks, excessive water use, faulty lock, etc.), or other unforeseen situations requiring intervention.
Preventive management is also possible through periodic inspections, according to the owner’s needs and preferred frequency.
This is the ideal season to schedule maintenance and improvement works:
October and November are also strategic months for property purchases.
With a stabilized market and many beautiful properties available, it’s a great time to invest with confidence.
AAA Riviera supports clients through every step: identifying the best opportunities, organizing off-season viewings, conducting due diligence and research, guiding them through the legal and fiscal aspects of acquisition, and more.
Thanks to our local expertise, our Scandinavian and international clients purchase with full confidence and can plan the management of their new property from the start.
Buying with AAA Riviera means combining a sound investment, future comfort, and peace of mind — all with personalized support ensuring your property is always ready to welcome you.
Appointed on September 9th and resigning on November 6th, Mr. Lecornu lasted less than a month.
The task proved extremely difficult, with too little room for negotiation.
“The conditions for governing were not met,” he declared upon resigning — meaning he felt that the various opposition parties behaved as if they held the majority, drawing their own red lines without any real willingness to compromise.
The French public generally welcomed the Prime Minister’s resignation, viewing his decision as honourable.
The move earned him both sympathy and respect in public opinion.
On November 10th, President Macron reappointed Sébastien Lecornu as Prime Minister. What could have changed in just four days?
Mr. Lecornu said he accepted the position “out of duty,” adding with humor that there weren’t many other candidates.
This time, Lecornu received “carte blanche” from the President to govern and accomplish his mission — beginning with providing France with a 2026 budget, an urgent priority.
The Prime Minister emphasized that members of the new government should focus on the task at hand, without pursuing personal political agendas.
“Either you help me, or you don’t… either we stand still, or we move forward,” he said.
The new government is broader — growing from 19 to 34 ministers — with a wider political spectrum and eight members (a quarter) coming from civil society with no political affiliation.
However, even before the government convened or presented any proposals, the far-left LFI and far-right RN announced their intent to file a motion of censure.
The question remains whether the LR and Socialist parties will resist the temptation to push their own agendas and contribute to further instability.
In any case, Sébastien Lecornu has the merit of being humble, respectful, and talented, with a deep sense of duty toward the nation.
He has stated: “I prefer my country to my party.”But will that be enough to overcome the egos of others?
How long can he maintain this delicate balance of compromise?
France’s debt stands at 114–116% of GDP. By comparison: United States 120%, Italy 138%, Greece 153%, Japan 250%, the EU average is 82%.
Even though France’s ratio appears moderate, in nominal terms the country holds the largest debt in Europe, at €3.416 trillion (Greece’s debt totals only €362 billion).
Expected economic growth in France for 2025 is 0.8%, compared to an EU average of 1.1%.Scandinavia is projected at 1.3%, Portugal and the Baltic states over 2%, and Poland at 2.9%.
France risks losing further competitiveness, while its credit ratings remain at A+ (Fitch and Standard & Poor).
Despite low default risk, these ratings drive up 10-year government bond yields to 3.6% (up 0.6 points since the start of the year), making France’s debt servicing costs the highest in Europe (Italy 3.57%, Greece 3.42%, Germany 2.7%).
Every year, Pink October mobilizes the public for breast cancer screening.
On the French Riviera, cities like Antibes, Cannes, and Nice organize awareness events, fundraising campaigns, and community activities.
Among these initiatives, the Odyssea Race in Cannes stands out — a solidarity walk and run to support research and emphasize the importance of prevention.
This year’s race will take place on October 26, 2025, starting in Cannes.
As last year, the AAA Riviera team will take part to support this great cause.
Every gesture counts in the fight against cancer.
