SOUTH FRANCE PROPERTY 2010 French Property News: For the fifth year running, France has earned the top spot as the best place in the world to live in, say the editors of International Living, the world’s #1 retirement and relocation publication, in their annual Annual Quality of Life Index!

They say... "For the fifth year running, France takes first in our annual Quality of Life Index. No surprise...an unsurpassable quality of life, including the world's best health care.

France always nets high scores in most categories. But you don't need number-crunchers to tell you its bon vivant lifestyle is special. Step off a plane and you'll experience it first-hand.I always wish quality of life indicators could measure a country's heart and soul. But it's impossible to enumerate the joy of lingering for hours over dinner and a bottle of red wine...Or buying buttery croissants...walking antique streets paved with poetry...in lavender-scented Provence. Or in the Languedoc of the troubadors, bathed in Mediterranean sunlight...

Provincial French properties are often keenly priced and lifestyles are less expensive than Paris...Houses cascade with wisteria blossom; outdoor markets are everywhere. Foie gras, pink garlic, Armagnac, and crystallized violets aren't gourmet fare for locals. Rather, just another day's shopping."

So France is the ideal place to concider buying property...There are a range of property for sale in France from cheap bargain property needing renovation to luxury properties. Property prices vary. French property in coastal towns and villages is very popular so costs more, going inland cheaper deals may be found.
