Oui, oui, oui! Property packages in France

To start you off on your voyage of discovery in the French property market, hop on over to A Place in France, who advertise themselves as off plan French property specialists since 1988. On their website, there are a number of bedroom apartments available in Sète, in the Mont Saint-Clair region, from 116,000 euros for a one bedroom apartment. The specified flats come with lifts, outside or underground parking, a terrace or balcony and are minutes from a nearby beach, in a region with 300 days of sunshine a year!

An offer of properties that are on sale at 30% below market value is being made by BMV Property Investment Deals , where a three bed-room town-house in L'Absie can be bought for 50,499 euros - a 25% discount on its original price. The property does require some refurbishment, however. The website also has offers on various plots of land in France, should you decide to build your ideal house on your very own French acres!

A plethora of offers, plus some comprehensive guidance on buying abroad, is available at My-French-House.com , where a recently renovated, stone-work property in Aquitaine, Bordeaux can be snapped up from just 325,000 euros. To tempt you, the website lists the properties features which include a large living room with wood-burning fire place, a number of 'out-buildings' including a new bread oven and barbecue and a large, sealed-off garden.
