Silver Market in France
France has a long tradition of silver ownership, with the Banque de France holding approximately 2,437 tonnes in official reserves — the fourth-largest in the world. The Napoleon silver coin (20 franc) is a culturally iconic investment coin still widely traded in French markets. France imposes a flat tax on silver sales, making the tax treatment relatively straightforward.
Why do people in France invest in silver?
French investors traditionally favour physical silver as protection against political and economic instability. The concept of "patrimoine" (family patrimony) drives multi-generational silver holding. Napoleon coins and silver bars from Swiss refineries are among the most popular products in the French market.

Is the Napoleon silver coin still popular in France?
Yes. The 20 franc Napoleon coin (5.81g of 22K silver) remains a beloved and widely-traded bullion coin in France due to its historical significance, recognisability, and competitive premiums in local markets.
What is the price of silver in euros in France?
France uses the euro, so silver is priced in EUR. The price reflects the international USD spot price converted at the current EUR/USD rate. VAT does not apply to investment silver in France under EU directives.
Where can I buy silver in France?
silver can be purchased from Orféo, CPoR Devises, La Banque Postale, and numerous numismatic dealers in Paris. LBMA-accredited refineries also supply bars directly to institutional buyers.
