Rives, the harbour of Thonon-les-Bains at the edge of Lake Geneva. Google Maps.
Rives is the lower town of Thonon-les-Bains, at the edge of Lake Geneva, below the plateau where the centre stands. It is a former fishing village that became the harbour of the municipality, with its fishermen's huts, its promenade and its landing stage, from which the lake crossings to Switzerland depart. A funicular has linked the harbour to the upper town since the end of the nineteenth century.
The district takes in Concise, a residential area set between the centre and the Ripaille estate, valued for its schools, its sports facilities and its green spaces, among them the parc du Belvédère and its view over the lake. Together they form an area running from the water's edge to the heights immediately above.
On the market, Rives stands at 3 654 €/m², level with the municipal average, on a substantial sales volume of about 71 a year. The district has risen by about 8 % over five years. The average covers contrasting realities: the building stock of the harbour and that of Concise are not valued in the same way, and the lake view weighs heavily on prices.
Rives attracts buyers looking for proximity to the lake and the life of the harbour, families settled in Concise for its schools and green spaces, and a share of second-home buyers. Demand focuses on apartments with a view and on the houses of Concise. The solid sales volume makes the area one of the most legible markets in the town.
