France’s golden age of short-term rentals is fading as new regulations reshape the market. The Le Meur-Echaniz law, passed in late 2024, gives local governments sweeping powers to curb tourism-driven housing shortages. Restrictions include mandatory registration, rental caps, elimination of tax breaks, and fines up to €100,000. Popular cities like Paris, Marseille, and Biarritz have seen steep declines in active listings, while investors shift toward long-term leases. AirDNA data shows a 1% nationwide drop in rental supply, with sharper declines in heavily regulated areas. Though demand remains strong, platforms and hosts face growing pressure to adapt.

France continues to be a key market for vacation rentals in Europe. From August 2024 to August 2025, demand increased by 4%, but supply dropped by 1%.
