France
Paris & Île-de-France · Marseille · Lyon
One of the largest and oldest Lebanese communities in Europe (~300,000), Paris-centred — and France is the #1 study destination for Lebanese students, with numbers that doubled in five years.
Can foreigners buy? No restrictions on foreign buyers. Purchase costs (~7–8% on resales — 'frais de notaire') are among Europe's highest; the notaire, not a lawyer, runs the transaction.
