Foreign Perspectives

That certainly makes it handy to see them, but it’s almost certainly not the best choice for you. Most people who look for property in France are looking for somewhere in the country so staying in a town-centre hotel won’t give you any opportunity to experience the kind of life that you are considering.

Not only that, but the hotel will almost certainly be French run whereas if you choose somewhere that’s run by someone who has made the move from the UK themselves you can ask them about it and avoid the “everything is wonderful” type of answer that you’ll get from all the estate agents. Such people will have looked at the area with “your eyes” so to speak and be able to point out pros and cons about the various parts of their region throughout the year.

If you’re considering the south of France not call in with us at Mas Camps? We live in one of the most beautiful but lesser known (hence cheaper) regions just west of Perpignan.
