French property market "buzzing"
 
The French property market is "buzzing", according to a report in the Telegraph.

Despite the strong euro, which currently stands at €1.25 to the pound, the British have not been put off buying property, including holiday homes in France, the news source suggests.

The country is drawing in Britons as a result of property crashes elsewhere. As Helena Frith Powell writes: "In times of trouble and insecurity there is always a flight to quality, so our old favourite, France, is an obvious choice."

Those considering buying holiday homes to let in France may consider Gascony as a potential location, since, according to the publication, it has more of an authentic feel to it, as well as beautiful countryside, a relaxed atmosphere and a great range of food and wine.

Known as Little Britain, the Dordogne may appeal to those looking for a home away from home. Bargains may be found in the north of the region.

The French housing market was recently reported as holding steady in the face of the subprime crisis elsewhere; in fact, house prices increased by 0.1 per cent from February, according to the French federation of real estate agents.
