Some French mortgage lenders have just entered the market with 100% Loan-to-Value mortgage product and with the new incentive of Stamp Duty paid and tax concessions you can save up to 8% on the property purchase.  Add to this our 25%BMV deals and we predict an imminent boom in French property purchasing by us Brit's.

 

For the 5th consecutive year, International Living magazine has reported France as the NUMBER ONE (out of 30) country to live in taking into account such factors as safety, lifestyle, cost of living, and house prices etc. so whether you are looking for that second home in a tranquil countryside or beach setting or, the bustling metropolis, France offers just about everything. 

 

Brittany for example, is the land of a thousand legends and France's most westerly region.  With easy air and transport links you are no more than a few hours away from the UK as passenger or driver.

 

The countryside is full of little cottages built of stone and slate with the gray granite walls enhanced by the golden splash of heady-gorse or the cloudy blue of a mop-headed hydrangea.

But it's not just the architecture that suggests Brittany (Bretagne) is a land apart. With the peninsula thrusting into the Atlantic like the head of some bizarre sea monster, this is where France seems to fade out and the bewitching Celtic world takes over: if you like Cornwall, you'll love Brittany!

 

No place in the department (region) is more than an hour's drive from the ocean, which offers clear, aquamarine seas, stunning rock formations, secret bays, huge expanses of sandy beaches and, little harbor towns, which in a former lifetime were feared as pirate strongholds. 

 

You can go inland and enjoy lakes, forests and moors.  Or, as you meander down lanes, you are taken back-in-time as you visit numerous secluded villages and hamlets always greeted with traditional hospitality.

In this time-lagged land you will feel the easy, carefree pace of your childhood, enjoy the warmth of the local people and partake of Kouign Aman (a sweet sticky traditional Breton cake) with strong French coffee.  

 

Lay back, stretch, and breath in lungfuls of fresh, clean Ozone.
