Geographic Information
Description of France
With its laidback lifestyle, France is one of the most popular destinations for property buyers. The country’s food, wine and beautiful villages promise a relaxing backdrop for holiday home owners, with Brits particularly fond of the familiar culture and cuisine.
Those looking for beachfront homes are also well served by the glamour of the French Riviera within the Provence Cotes d’Azur region, the most sought-after area of France. The near-tropical climate and pristine beaches attract millions of visitors to hotspots such as Nice.
The coast’s impressive array of high-end real estate, combined with the country’s stable economy and the safe haven market of Paris, attracts wealthy investors to France too.
