Where to invest in France? The rental yield rankings.
Postcodes ranked by gross rental yield — official rents (Carte des loyers) set against real sale prices (DVF). No sponsored rankings: public data only, recalculated every day.
An honest reminder: a high yield usually comes with a less liquid market, a greater risk of vacancy and a slower resale. Yield is never the only criterion.
1,960 postcodes ranked (≥ 20 sales/year) — prices 2025, rents 2025. Median gross yield in France: 6.2 %. · 40 / 40

Calculate the net yieldGross yield = median annual rent ÷ median purchase price, by postcode (flat). Postcodes with fewer than 20 sales/year excluded; yields above 13 % filtered out (likely data anomalies). This is not investment advice.
INSEE population aggregated to the postcode (Lyon/Marseille split by arrondissement, approximate).
Market tension = how sought-after housing is here (more buyers/tenants than available properties). It is the government's official zonage ABC. The tighter it is, the faster a property lets and resells. Scale: A bis (extreme) → A (very tight) → B1 (tight) → B2 (moderate) → C (relaxed).
