Several renovation grants are available in France in 2026, mainly for energy-improvement works: MaPrimeRénov’, the interest-free éco-PTZ loan, CEE energy-saving certificates and local aid in Nice and the Métropole. Here is a clear overview and who can claim them.
The main grants in 2026
- MaPrimeRénov’ — state grant for energy renovation (insulation, heating, heat pumps), amount based on income and energy gain.
- Éco-PTZ — an interest-free loan to finance energy works without paying interest.
- CEE (energy-saving certificates) — bonuses funded by energy suppliers for qualifying works.
- Local aid — additional support from the City of Nice and the Métropole for certain projects.
Who is eligible?
Most national grants target works on a main residence in France and depend on income and the energy performance gained. Eligibility, ceilings and conditions are reviewed regularly, so always confirm the current rules before starting.
Frequently asked questions
Can a non-resident or second-home owner claim these grants?
Most national schemes (MaPrimeRénov’) are designed for a main residence, so second homes and many non-residents are usually excluded. Some CEE bonuses and local aid may still apply — we can advise on your specific situation.
Can the grants be combined?
Yes, several schemes can often be combined (e.g. MaPrimeRénov’ + CEE + éco-PTZ), within each scheme’s limits.
