| French property news - news from our local offices | The French Alps
Situated in the South-East of France bordering the French Riviera/Côte d'Azur, Italy and Switzerland sits the region of the Rhone-Alpes. An area of considerable diversity and natural beauty with vast mountain ranges which include the highest peak in Europe, Mont Blanc, and the Massif Central interspersed by seven significant protected national parks.
Here you’ll find the areas of Savoie (73) and Haute-Savoie (74) with their world famous ski areas of the Three Valleys, Chamonix, Espace Killy, Paradiski and Porte du Soleil to name but a few. In addition to these vast ski regions this area encompasses many well-known tourist areas, cities, towns and lakes. The diverse landscape makes it ideal for nature based activities and sports, from mountaineering and a vast range of summer activities to the full range of on-snow activities.
The whole area is also famous for superb local productions of wines such as Gamy, and local cheeses such as Beaufort which is used in traditional mountain dishes such as tartiflette; because of this it also offers a wealth of famous restaurants and chefs.
In the ski resorts which include Courchevel, Les Gets, Meribel, St Martin de Belleville, Val d’Isere, Tignes, Les Arcs, La Plagne, Valmorel and many more, you’ll find everything from luxury ski chalets with heated drives and outdoor hot tubs to tiny studio apartments that are simply designed to get you skiing as cheaply as possible. In the surrounding mountain villages you’ll find tumbling down barns to renovate, charming houses, new builds and everything in between.
Down in the valleys the choice is endless with farms, stables, chateaux, village and town houses as well as lake side properties of all shapes and sizes which include well known locations such as Lake Geneva, Lac de Annecy and Lac de Bourget plus a wealth of river side properties. There are properties near vineyards, golf courses, gorges..... there is something for everyone here and with the different climate from area to area there is also a climate to suit as well.

| John Whellem in the Charente (16) I live near Angouleme just outside Villebois Lavalette in a truly beautiful corner of the Charente. I like this area because I have only to travel for 15 mins to the centre of Angouleme, with all it's designer shops and restaurants, Diy shops etc., Yet live in a tranquil setting with views over the countryside, the best of both worlds. | | | 
| John Short in the Dordogne (24) Rolling countryside, stunning market towns, historic Chateaux, breathtakingly beautiful villages and above all the gentle people and welcoming smiles wherever you wander. Crime, litter, graffitti and traffic jams are things that I no longer consider. If I am lucky, I'll never have to leave this wonderful place... | | | 
| Tracey Hudson in the Dordogne (24) The Perigord Vert region of France is known for its rolling wooded hills, lakes, Richard the Lionheart countryside and its warm welcome to strangers by the locals.
