6 of the best...French homes

Snow-sprinkled mountains, glorious coastlines, verdant countryside and bustling cities – France has a lifestyle to suit everyone.

Known for its culinary excellence, numerous wine-producing regions, artistic history and stunning natural scenery, France also has over 40 UNESCO heritage sites including the fortified city of Carcassonne, the Champagne region, and the banks of the Seine.

The French themselves clearly appreciate all their country has to offer, with Savills research showing that it is a predominantly domestic market. It's a hugely popular choice for international buyers too, with Brits accounting for 28 per cent of second home buyers.

An excellent holiday destination in its own right, France is also a great pick for buyers looking to relocate – it has excellent transport links, fantastic schools and healthcare, and, of course, a wonderful cultural offering.

We’ve chosen a handful of the very best French properties currently on the market, whether you’re looking for a bolthole, holiday home, or new life abroad.
