Welcome to France

Bienvenue!

The French love of art, fashion, perfume, wine and architecture confirms that quality of life is paramount to the French lifestyle. France enjoys one of the highest standards of living in the world and ranks fourth among the world's economic powers. The population doubles each year by the arrival of over 60 million tourists to enjoy its cultural wealth, astonishing variety of landscapes and world-renowned gastronomy. The French TGV high speed trains and its public transportation systems are widely considered the best in the world. From its capital, Paris -- the most romantic city in the world -- with its 360 different cheeses and museums that attract more visitors than football games, to the Cote d'Azur, with its romanesque villages and gothic cathedrals, quality of life is indeed integral to the French lifestyle.

Real Estate to France

The real estate profession in France has evolved dramatically within the past decade, attributable in large measure to new methods, improved customer service and training introduced by franchise systems like Chas Everitt. Home ownership is slightly over 50%, but France leads the world in second-home ownership. Mortgage financing is available for 15 years at under 6% interest and home prices outside Paris average just over $80,000.
