Buying Property in France

Categories: Property to Buy, Regions Departements Updated April 16, 2008

Whilst the days of really cheap bargains are probably over, France (outside of the major cities at least) still represents good value, except for the most popular areas such as the Riviera and parts of the Dordogne.

In general rural property prices have weakened since the peak a year or so ago, but the strength of the euro against the pound has lessened the advantage that might otherwise have applied. And there is still a demand from other northern Europeans (mainly Dutch, Belgian and German) who keep prices from falling too steeply.

Rural France still offers a potentially great way of life, improved if you can speak French and make the effort to become part of the local community.
