Airbnb year-round rentals Île-de-France, Digi Mart USA News (Île-de-France, France): Despite restrictions imposed by authorities seeking to contain the housing crisis, the number of tourist rentals offered year-round, meaning more than 120 days per year, increased in Île-de-France between 2023 and 2025, particularly in Paris, according to a study by the Institut Paris Région (IPR) that uses data from AirDNA.
AirDNA, a firm specializing in statistical analysis of short-term rentals, counted 139,400 active listings in Île-de-France in 2025 on the Airbnb platform, half of them in Paris (71,700). This figure fell 17% from 2024, a year when the Olympic and Paralympic Games caused a spike in new listings, but it rose 24% compared with 2023.
Of these listings, 52,900 were rented more than 120 days a year, a figure that has doubled since 2019. Their share has grown “since the end of the health crisis” and reached a historic high of 38% in 2025, the study notes.
The IPR uses the 120-day threshold, beyond which a dwelling changes status from primary residence to secondary residence under French law.
Record occupancy rates: The institute concludes that the decline in listings between 2024 and 2025 reflects only an “evaporation” of rooms within owners’ homes and occasional rentals offered exceptionally for the Olympic Games. In Paris in particular, year-round rentals increased by 10,000 over two years to reach 29,000 in 2025, “the highest level observed so far,” according to the institute.
“They now account for nearly 41% of all Parisian listings offered on Airbnb and 72% of nights booked in the capital,” the study adds. In 2025, Île-de-France set records over 2024 for nights booked (16.7 million) and occupancy rates: half of active listings recorded at least 97 nights booked, according to AirDNA data.
This sharp increase comes as the City of Paris has tightened regulations on furnished tourist rentals, although fines have only been multiplying since 2026.
AirDNA extracts data automatically (scraping) from the websites of major platforms such as Airbnb, Booking.com and Abritel to estimate the number of available listings and the number of monthly bookings for each. The Institut Paris Région chose to focus solely on Airbnb listings to avoid any problem related to possible duplicates, and excluded hotel-type listings, non-residential accommodations and mobility leases.
