area full of lakes, rivers, and dramatic
(yet dormant) volcanoes. Here rural
France is at its best, and you will fi nd
that property prices are way lower
than in the ski resorts in the Alps.
Don't be fooled though; you can still
ski, cycle, and hike in the Auvergne,
and property is excellent value for
money.
However, the Alps remain the
main reason that France is the
number one ski destination in the
world, attracting 54m visitors a year.
It's not just the skiing either, the
lakes in the region are stunning and
a beautiful place to buy a permanent
or second home. Take Annecy, for
example; it is the largest city in
Haute-Savoie, yet it is known for its
beauty and is even called "The Venice
of the Alps." Full of terrifi c bars,
restaurants, and boutiques, it is one
of the most beautiful summer tourist
destinations in France.
Leggett has a fabulous portfolio
of around 1,000 properties in the
region, and our team of local experts
live and work here. You will fi nd us a
friendly bunch, so why not come and
visit us - who knows, you too might
fi nd that it's love at fi rst sight!
