What's home insurance in France?
Home insurance (assurance habitation) protects your home, what’s inside it, and the people living under your roof. Whether you rent or own, it helps you stay financially secure when unexpected things happen.
Property damage
Covers damage caused by fire, water leaks, natural disasters, or break-ins — so you're not left paying out of pocket.
Personal liability
If you accidentally cause damage to a neighbor’s apartment (like a water leak or fire), your insurance covers the costs and protects you legally.
Belongings protection
Furniture, electronics, appliances, clothes — all covered in case of theft, fire, or other covered events.
Is home insurance mandatory in France?
For tenants
Home insurance is required to cover rental risks like fire and water damage.
Landlords require proof of insurance before handing over the keys — that’s your “attestation d’assurance.”
For homeowners
If you live in a co-owned property, civil liability insurance is mandatory. For others, it’s optional but highly recommended to avoid costly repairs.
