Houses and Properties near the Coast

France has over 2000 miles of superb coastline making it one of the most popular choice for property owners who enjoy watersports, fresh seafood and holidaying in the sun on the beach. On the Mediterranean coast, golden Occitanie sands on the west lead seamlessly towards the sun- drenched French Riviera in the east where beaches and marinas are set against the spectacular backdrop of the rocky, jagged coastline.  The Vendée and Charente Maritime on the west coast are characterised by long golden beaches backed by pine forests and some of the sunniest weather in France, making more pleasant than Spain in the hot summer months.

Even in the height of summer, the beaches are rarely overcrowded and stylish resorts like La Baule or Arcachon are geared up for fabulous shopping and fine dining at night.  In the north, there are numerous sandy coves and beaches to explore on the Brittany coast and the proximity to the UK make it another popular choice with buyers. Summer France can help find a nice place to stay for a break or while house hunting.
