DVF — Demandes de valeurs foncières
France publishes actual recorded sale prices, nationally, as open data. For anyone underwriting property this is an unusually strong asset: not an assessed value, not an estimate — the price in the deed.

Read the rest with a free account
The opening section is open to everyone. The procedure in detail — statutes, deadlines, who may bid, and what the record does not say — is behind a free account.
We ask for one because writing these from primary sources is slow work, and knowing who relies on it tells us which country to do next.
