Russia’s newly affluent flaunt their wealth on Cote d’Azur with oligarch Roman Abramovich setting the pace. The hot spot where Arabian sheiks and American millionaires once came to gamble is now crowded with Russians and Ukrainians.

Real estate is the first and foremost concern for Russians on the Cote d’Azur, According to Carole Kennedy of Cote d' Azur Property Connections the Russians like the Riviera & Monaco very much, With Moscow just a four-hour flight away, a beautiful villa on the Riviera is a logical step for affluent Russians.

Carole says the Russians are gradually returning with the end to the turbulance in the world financial markets, The “normal luxury market” (below €20 million) is more active and she has more clients searching for Riviera property than this time last year.
