A true natural treasure at the heart of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region, the Bouches-du-Rhône is home to an exceptional variety of forests. Among them are production forests dedicated to sustainable forest management, as well as state-owned, private and leisure woodlands. Whether you are looking for firewood, parcels to harvest for timber production, or simply a place to enjoy hiking, the department offers a wide range of natural spaces. Regulations such as the French Forest Code protect these precious environments while placing management obligations on owners, including management plans and the clearing of undergrowth. At the same time, tax advantages — such as exemption from Real Estate Wealth Tax (IFI) or inheritance duties — make investing in a forest estate an opportunity not to be missed.
