French Atlantic Coast Becomes 'More Popular'

The French Atlantic coast is becoming more popular with Brits, according to one industry expert.

Property-Abroad.com, which specialises in offering overseas property and real estate for sale in worldwide destinations, said this week that holidaymakers have discovered that they can enjoy sunshine in France at a cheaper price than on the Mediterranean coast.

Les Calvert, director of Property-Abroad.com, said: "Areas that tend to be showing more interest than previously are Aquitaine on the Atlantic coast.

"The Mediterranean coast has always been popular, but now the Atlantic coast is becoming more popular, as is the Silver coast in Portugal."

He explained that holidaymakers can get the same amount of sunshine in France but for "half the price" of going to Mediterranean destinations.

French property company VEF Group also said this week that environmental concerns are making France a popular overseas investment destination, as it can be accessed by Brits by means other than air.
