As with the Provence-Alpes-Cote-d’Azur region, property prices in Rhone-Alpes vary wildly. Broadly speaking, the inland Rhone area offers cheaper properties than the admittedly more expensive Alpine ski resorts – however, the price of the latter is offset by their proximity with the mountains, good transport links, enduring popularity and well-developed tourism industry.
Loire is the cheapest department - prices here average around €172,900. This compares to an average of €377,200 in Haute-Savoie, Rhone-Alpes’ most expensive department by far.
