Did you know that France has more second homes than any other country in the world? Around 3.7 million vacation homes are scattered across the country—from the Atlantic coast to the Alps, and of course… the sun-drenched hills of Provence.
At the heart of this beloved region, the Luberon stands out as a timeless favorite. It offers everything today’s second-home buyers are looking for: a preserved natural setting, a refined way of life, a gentle climate, and above all… that rare feeling of escape without going too far.
Why are second homes so popular?
In recent years especially since the pandemic both French and international buyers have been looking for a peaceful retreat away from the city. A place to unwind, reconnect with nature, and spend quality time with loved ones.
The second home is no longer just a summer getaway. It has become a true second residence: a part-time workspace, a long-term investment, or even the start of a future life project.
The Luberon: a highly sought-after region
The Luberon has long attracted lovers of Provence. In recent years, its popularity has only grown—and here’s why:
-
Charming villages like Bonnieux, Lourmarin or Ménerbes, combining authenticity, culture and gastronomy.
-
The stunning landscapes, from vineyards and orchards to lavender fields and wooded hills.
-
A passionate real estate market, where buyers often stay for years—or generations.
-
And a sense of rarity: many properties are passed down through families, making each listing even more desirable.
A lifestyle investment—and a smart one
Buying a second home in the Luberon is, above all, about enjoyment. But it’s also a solid investment in a protected, stable and highly desirable region. Properties here retain their value over time, and many can be easily rented out during the high season.
It’s the kind of place that appeals to both French families and international buyers—from Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, the UK, the US and beyond.
