Our market
We exclusively focus on the market we love and know best:
the French market. Beyond the praised “French way of life”
there are numerous sensible reasons to consider an
real estate investment in France
economy and infrastructures
-
•France is world's 6th economic power, and has been one of the top host countries of foreign investment for years - France is the 3rd biggest recipient of international investment in the world and $64 billion in foreign direct investment out of the $205 billion invested in the euro zone in 2006 (source: UN 2006 World investment report)
-
•France is the most visited country in the world, receiving over 79 million foreign tourists annually (including business visitors, but excluding people staying less than 24 hours in France)
-
•France is the only country with both a direct link and a frontier with the six largest European markets (Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands)
-
•France has one of the most efficient and innovative infrastructure systems. The road network is the most extensive in Europe with 900,000 kilometers of roads. The railway network totals 32,000 kilometers, the most extensive in Western Europe, and high speed trains (TGV), travel at 320 km/h (200 mph) in commercial use in particular between Paris, Lille, Brussels, London, Cologne, Lyons, Bordeaux and Marseilles - the fastest in the world. For air travel, 370 companies of 100 nationalities serve 136 countries from seven French international airports
-
•In 2003, France's natural population growth (excluding immigration) was responsible for almost all natural population growth in the European Union and population growth was 0.68% in 2004. This trend continues to support a healthy real estate market
-
•France has a predominantly temperate climate, with mild winters, except in mountain areas. The Atlantic has a profound impact on the northwest, where the weather is characterized by high humidity, often violent westerly winds and lots of rain. France's northeast has a classic continental climate, with fairly hot summers and cold winters. Midway between the two, the Paris basin boasts the nation's lowest annual precipitation, but rainfall patterns are erratic. The southern coastal plains are subject to a pleasant Mediterranean climate: frost is rare, spring and autumn downpours are sudden but brief and summer is virtually without rain.
Visas Overview
Nationals of the EU, the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel do not need visas to visit France as tourists for up to three months. Except for the citizens of a handful of other European countries, everyone else must have a visa
If you do not need a visa, you can almost certainly qualify for another automatic three-month stay if you take the train to Geneva or Brussels and then re-enter France
