French Holidays
Before buying a property in France, it is likely that you will have visited France and holidayed there so that you will be aware of the delights it has to offer.
France is a large country with a whole range of countryside, weather, history and activities to enjoy. France's economy is the fifth largest in the world.
Mainland France is bordered by the United Kingdom, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Andorra, Italy and Spain. The country extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the North Sea and from the Rhine River to the Atlantic Ocean.
French landscapes range from coastal plains in the north and west to the mountain ranges in the south like the Pyrenees and the Alps. France is a paradise for nature lovers.
The official language of France is French. English is not commonly used in France. There are other regional languages spoken in the country like Basque, Breton, Catalan, Corsican, Dutch, and Alsatian.
France is the European Union's leading agricultural producer. If you visit northern France, then you will see large wheat farms. Western France concentrates on dairy products, pork, poultry and apple production. Beef production is located in central France and southern France produces fruits, vegetables and wine ranges.
The beauty of the Rural Countryside is one of the reason many Europeans start to look to buy a French Property.
For many, Paris is the first city they visit in France. With La Seine running through the centre, the wonderful architecture and the well-known monuments such as the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, the Gothic Cathedral of Notre Dame, the cafe culture and shopping, Paris never disappoints the tourist.
Every region of France has its own character and identity and many spend holidays year after year exploring a new area. Others decide to put down roots and buy a holiday house so they can return to the same familiar place each year, make friends, learn the language and relax in the comfort of their own home. A holiday home in France can also prove to be a good business proposition as, in popular holiday areas, there are strong rental markets.
