What are some French alternatives to the golden visa?

I’m of Indian nationality and planning to buy an apartment in Southern France next year, and wonder how it would work if I don’t have permanent residence to access the property I own? Are there legal ways to ensure I have a permanent right to stay in my property there?

    The purchase of a property does not in itself allow you to obtain a residence permit in France. You will have to apply for a visa adapted to the duration of your stay in France. This can be a short stay visa if you are planning a stay of less than 3 months or a long stay visa for example for visitors.
