What advice to expats in Cannes have about housing?

"When selecting a place to live in Cannes, it is important to research the area beforehand to make sure it is the right fit for you. Also, be mindful of rent prices as the rental market in Cannes can be quite competitive, and you may be able to find a better deal outside of Cannes in the nearby towns. Additionally, it is beneficial to hire a local lawyer or agent to help you with the paperwork and contracts involved with renting a property, as some of the legal procedures may be unfamiliar to foreigners. Lastly, always make sure to visit the property before signing any contracts, as this will help you get a better understanding of the apartment or house you will be living in," remarked another expat in Cannes, France.
