The figure is striking and explains everything else: Théoule-sur-Mer has 3,300 homes for only 1,477 residents, of whom 2,477 second homes, representing 75.1 % of the total housing stock. This is the highest rate on the French Riviera, far ahead of Cannes (44.2 %) or Villeneuve-Loubet (25.5 %). Opposite, four hotels and 155 rooms, and no campsites.
In other words, a traveler who wants to sleep in Théoule almost always stays in private accommodation. The demand exists, the hotel supply cannot absorb it, and the question is not whether your property will rent, but at what price and with what level of service.
It is also a municipality where remote management quickly shows its limits. 10.5 square kilometers between sea and the Estérel massif, ranging from 0 to 440 meters in altitude, winding access roads, owners who often live several hundred kilometers away: a missed housekeeping or a lost key on a Sunday evening cannot be sorted out over the phone.
To date, no change of use scheme is documented in Théoule-sur-Mer. The municipality's official pages do not mention any. We state this with caution, as the register of acts published online is not exhaustive: we call the town hall for each property before listing it online, and we confirm this to you in writing.
The declaration itself is indeed mandatory. The city hall refers to declaloc.fr, where the filing is equivalent to Cerfa form 14004*04. A Transition to the national online service is announced for the fourth quarter of 2026: this is the kind of bureaucratic switch that makes you miss a deadline, and we are following it. The steps are detailed in our article on declaration of a seasonal rental.
It is collected by the municipality, under the standard tax regime, pursuant to the deliberation of June 28, 2024. For a rated furnished accommodation: €3 for five stars, €2.20 for four, €1.50 for three, €0.90 for two, and €0.80 for one, per person and per night. For a Unrated furnished accommodation: 5 % of the nightly rate per person, capped at 4 €. To these amounts is added the additional tax of 34 % related to the new Provence Côte d'Azur railway line, applicable in the department since 2023.
Point of attention: a new deliberation is announced for January 1, 2027, whose rates are not published. We will adjust the settings of the properties we manage as soon as they are.
The municipality is organized around three portsThéoule and its 173 seats, La Figueirette and its 219 seats, The Galley and its 169 seats. Miramar is the fourth sector. We manage properties in the center of Théoule, near the train station and the beaches, and on the heights of La Galère and Miramar, where villas with views are rented by the week rather than by the night.
The argument that makes people book is not the beach, it's the Estérel. The Estérel Théoule Departmental Maritime Park covers 353 hectares, with a marked underwater trail at the Port de la Figueirette and a succession of beaches and coves: Maurin, Le Suveret, Le Château, Vallon de l'Autel, La Petite Fontaine, and Pointe de l'Aiguille. This is what needs to be highlighted in the listing, and this is what we document in the welcome booklet.
In terms of access, the municipality is at 13 km from Cannes, 4 km from the Mandelieu aerodrome and 45 km from Nice airport, with a highway exit in Mandelieu-la-Napoule, an SNCF railway station served by TER trains to Cannes and Saint-Raphaël, and buses 19 and 22.

No change of use regulations are documented to date, and the municipality's official pages make no mention of any. We state this cautiously as the online register of published acts is not exhaustive: we verify with the town hall for each property before listing. The declaration itself, however, is mandatory.
On declaloc.fr, where the submission serves as the Cerfa 14004*04 form, in accordance with the town hall's instructions. A transition to the national online service is announced for the fourth quarter of 2026: the portal will therefore change, and this is a point we are monitoring for the properties we manage.
For a classified furnished accommodation, from 0.80 euros for one star to 3 euros for five stars, per person per night. For unclassified furnished accommodation, 5 % of the nightly rate per person, capped at 4 euros. To these amounts is added the additional tax of 34 % related to the Provence Cote d'Azur new rail line. A new deliberation is announced for January 1, 2027, with rates not yet published.
This is the coastal municipality where second homes are most standard: 2,477 out of 3,300 dwellings, or 75.1 % of the stock, compared to just 155 hotel rooms and no campsites. The hotel supply does not absorb the demand. We do not publish income or occupancy rates by municipality due to a lack of reliable public sources, but we will provide you with a quantified estimate for your property within 24 hours.
The center of Théoule, near the train station and the beaches, for short stays. The heights of La Galère and Miramar, for villas with views, mostly rented by the week.
