France 'a better bet' for holiday homes
According to Property Finder France, the country is increasingly becoming popular with British people looking for a second home and is "a better bet" than Spain.
Laura Sturgess, web services research assistant at Property Finder France, said: "With the bottom falling out of Spain and everything, France seems like a better bet at the moment.
"France is becoming the most popular place for second homes for the British and is high on the list for other nationalities."
She revealed the French property market seems to have been boosted by Eurostar and air travel, which had contributed to opening up "more regional places" in France.
According to the Association of International Property Professionals, 17 per cent of all foreign properties purchased by UK buyers in 2007 were in France.
