coastal towns along its diverse
coastline. From the weatherbeaten shores
of the Atlantic in
the North to the warmer waters of
the Mediterranean in the South -
property buyers have an excellent
selection of places to choose from.
Prices vary dramatically, and you
will pay a premium for a sea view,

attracts worldwide interest, and
the French property market has
never been healthier, thanks to a
thriving economy, cheap fi nance,
and of course, President Macron's
