With the second round of French municipal elections coming up, we take a look at what was a hot-button, campaign issue in many towns and cities: second homes. In some of France’s coastal and Alpine communities, permanent residents are priced out of buying or renting because of vacation homes. We dive into how many second homes France has, who owns them and what mayors are trying to do about some of the issues they can create.
