Oh, the appeal of France, where work is just something you do rather than who you are. Where you won’t be judged for ordering a glass of wine with lunch (you might even be encouraged). Where cuisine is among the best in the world and where art and fashion combine.

If you, like many others, dream of living in France, we’re here to let you know it is possible. And, you don’t have to break the bank to do so.

We’ve helped countless individuals, couples and families find and purchase affordable homes in France – you just have to know where to look!

It also depends on what you’re looking for. If a bargain is what you’re after, then look no further as we have homes for as little as €50,000 in France. However, if you’re seeking a villa in the south of France with sea views, it’s unlikely that you’ll find anywhere for less than €350,000.
