Trets has become one of the most interesting real estate discoveries in recent years within the Provençal arc around Marseille and Aix-en-Provence. This town of 10,000 inhabitants, located between the Sainte-Victoire mountain to the north and the Sainte-Baume massif to the south, offers an exceptional natural setting, an authentic market-town lifestyle, and still-accessible prices compared to areas closer to Marseille. For buyers priced out of markets such as Mimet, Simiane-Collongue or Bouc-Bel-Air, Trets represents a strong alternative — and often a real revelation.

Framed by the Sainte-Victoire to the northwest and the first foothills of the Sainte-Baume to the southeast, the town enjoys a remarkably beautiful natural environment. Hiking trails, the vineyards of Château Grand Boise, and preserved natural spaces create a lifestyle few locations with such accessibility can offer. Trets is just minutes from the A8 motorway, allowing access to Aix-en-Provence in around 20 minutes and Marseille in about 35 minutes.
The town offers its own amenities—shops, schools, sports facilities, and healthcare services—as well as a lively local atmosphere centered around its Provençal market. This vibrant community life is particularly appreciated by families settling in the area.
Trets is one of the most affordable markets in the eastern part of the Aix-Marseille metropolitan area. The average price per square meter for a house ranges from €3,300 to €4,000, significantly lower than in Mimet, Simiane-Collongue, or Bouc-Bel-Air. This affordability attracts buyers with budgets between €300,000 and €600,000 seeking maximum space and quality.
The offer is diverse: village houses in the historic center appealing to renovation enthusiasts, suburban villas in residential developments, and a premium segment with pools and views of Sainte-Victoire or Sainte-Baume that can exceed €700,000. The rise of remote work has reduced the impact of distance—35 minutes from Marseille is no longer a barrier in such an exceptional setting.
