According to the study conducted in June 2020, by the Properties section of the newspaper Le Figaro, French people's expectations have changed. In fact, the main residence is now a place for family reunions, where memories are built and evolve over time. Julien Breuilh, director of studies, emphasizes that with the confinement, the place of residence sees its function as a refuge reinforced and highlights the stability of the luxury real estate market.
