Angoulême Property Prices, Rents & Rental Yields

About Angoulême

Angoulême, in the Charente department of southwestern France, combines a compact city setting with a historic hilltop profile and a long-standing role as a cultural and administrative center. For apartment investors, that local identity matters because it shapes a market that is closely tied to the city’s everyday use and urban rhythm.

August 2026 brings the clearest signal: pricing has softened even as rents have moved higher month on month, creating a sharper gap between entry costs and income potential. The average apartment sale price stands at €114,700, with the average price per square metre at €1,700, down 4.8% and 6.7% respectively over the month. Against that backdrop, the average rent has climbed to €570, up 8.2% month on month, while the gross yield is 7.77%.

The year-on-year picture is more cautionary on valuation. The average sale price is down 8.7% from a year earlier, and the average price per square metre is down 14.6%, suggesting a notably lighter pricing base than last summer. Rents, however, are also slightly lower year on year, down 3.5%, so the current yield level reflects a market where falling capital values are doing more of the work than rental growth. For investors, August 2026 looks less like a momentum story and more like a period of adjustment, with returns still present but tied to a lower price platform.
