Valenciennes, the town
Valenciennes covers 13.8 km², lies between 17 and 56 m above sea level and had 43,468 inhabitants in the 2023 census.
Valenciennes (prononcé) is a French commune, historically the capital of the comté du Hainaut and today a sub-prefecture of the département du Nord, in the Hauts-de-France region. The town and its surroundings have belonged to the kingdom of France, to the Spanish Netherlands and to the Southern Netherlands (in Latin Belgica Regia). It is situated at the confluence of the Rhonelle with the Escaut.
A little history
The agglomeration took shape from the early Middle Ages and the town emerged, as such, a few centuries later, in the Middle Ages. However, very recent archaeological discoveries demonstrate a human presence on the site of the town as early as the Neolithic period. The first document in which Valenciennes is mentioned relates to a plaid held in 693 by Clovis III in the castle in which he resided at Valenciennes, Valencianis in palatio nostro. In the annals of Eginhart, secretary to Charlemagne, and on the occasion of an assembly that the latter convened at Valenciennes in 771, this place is named villa Valentiana or vicus Valentianus appellatus.

Prices by property type in Valenciennes
By property type in Valenciennes, T2 at €1,962/m², T3 at €1,985/m², studio at €2,261/m², T4 at €1,786/m², T5+ at €1,732/m².
The studio carries the highest price per square metre and the T5+ the lowest, a gap of 31 %. Small units usually cost more per square metre than large ones, because the price of a kitchen and a bathroom is spread over fewer metres.
The house is what changes hands most often here, with 323 sales over twelve months. It is therefore the type with the most reference points, and the one where a price is hardest to argue against.

Selling in Valenciennes
Pricing in Valenciennes starts by placing your property inside the €1,640 to €2,381 band rather than on the median alone. The median describes the middle of the market; condition, floor, outdoor space and energy rating decide where in the band you sit.
With 701 sales a year, Valenciennes absorbs correctly priced properties. An over-ambitious price shows quickly, because buyers have points of comparison.
Briveo values your Valenciennes property from the same DVF file, keeping only sales of comparable properties closest to your address, free of charge and with no obligation, then supports the sale through to the deed.
Buying in Valenciennes
Reading the €1,640 to €2,381 band is a buyer’s main tool in Valenciennes. A property at the bottom is not a bargain and one at the top is not a rip-off, the band measures how different the properties are, not how well they are priced.
Acquisition costs are budgeted on top of the price, around 8 % on an existing property, around 3 % on a new one. These are orders of magnitude; the notary computes the exact amount.
A stable market usually means a negotiation decided by the property itself rather than by any general trend.
