Barnes Léman introduces its new rental service across the Lake Geneva region.

The Léman property market continues to attract a discerning clientele drawn to the beauty of the lake, the proximity to Switzerland, and the exceptional quality of life the region offers. Building on its strong local presence and long-standing expertise in the sale of prestigious properties, Barnes Léman is expanding its services with the launch of a dedicated rental division. This new offering has been designed to provide tailored support for property owners while giving tenants access to a curated selection of outstanding homes.
Here’s what you need to know.

A new rental service tailored to the needs of the Léman market

The rental market around Lake Geneva is experiencing remarkable growth. With peaceful lakeside settings, close access to Geneva, and breathtaking Alpine views, the region attracts both French and international residents seeking an exceptional living environment. Increasing numbers of cross-border workers, families and professionals are choosing Évian-les-Bains, Thonon-les-Bains, Publier or Neuvecelle as their home—whether for a primary residence, a second home, or a long-term rental.

In this evolving context, Barnes Léman is enhancing its offer with a rental service designed to meet growing demand. The goal is twofold:

— to support owners wishing to rent out their property with complete peace of mind,

— and to offer tenants a collection of homes combining architecture, comfort, and refined living.

True to the Barnes philosophy, every project is handled with the same level of discretion, precision and dedication to quality.

Exceptional rental homes between lake and mountains

Apartments and villas that reflect the Léman lifestyle
Our ambition is to build a rental portfolio that fully reflects the Barnes identity: carefully selected properties distinguished by their character, their location, and the quality of their features—properties defined by elegance and allure.

This includes:
• contemporary apartments, some with panoramic lake views,

• architect-designed villas,

• charming family homes,

• houses with private gardens or direct access to the lake.

Each home benefits from premium presentation and optimal marketing, ensuring tenants enjoy a high-end experience and owners benefit from maximum visibility for their property.

Why is the Chablais region so attractive?

The territories covered by Barnes Léman offer a unique setting between lake and mountains. Beyond its exceptional natural environment, the Lake Geneva basin benefits from top-quality infrastructure:

— transport links (Geneva Airport, TGV rail, Léman Express, ferries),

— international business hubs,

— international schools,

— and a wealth of sports and cultural facilities.

Combined with its proximity to Geneva, these strengths make the region one of the most desirable places in France to invest or rent.
