🇫🇷 France Renovation Subsidies 2026

France offers one of Europe's most comprehensive renovation subsidy systems. Four main schemes work together: MaPrimeRenov' (income-based grants), CEE energy savings certificates (flat-rate bonuses), Eco-PTZ (zero-interest loans up to 50,000 EUR), and reduced VAT at 5.5% instead of 20%. These can be combined, meaning a modest-income household renovating a poorly-insulated home could cover 60-80% of costs through public support.

Eligibility Overview

Eligibility depends on household income (four categories: very modest, modest, intermediate, high), property age (must be the primary residence, built 2+ years ago), and the type of works planned. Climate zone (H1/H2/H3) affects income thresholds. Owner-occupiers, landlords, and co-owner associations can apply.

Update frequency: Thresholds updated every January. CEE rates revised quarterly.
