South of France remains 'a certainty' for 2008

The South of France will remain "a certainty" for investment in 2008, say property experts.

VEF, a property consultancy specialising in the sale of property in France, has said that the area offers investors "good capital growth and high rentals" making it a popular choice.

Trisha Mason, founder and managing director of VEF, said: "The South of France always remains a certainty showing good capital growth and high rentals for investors.

"For the holiday home buyer - Pas de Calais, Burgundy, Brittany and Normandy, Drome, [and] Languedoc - all are served by good Train a Grande Vitesse links."

According to French property market figures released earlier this year by the French estate agents' federation, FNAIM, and Nouvel Observateur magazine, French property prices have increase for a tenth consecutive year.

Connectivity throughout France is served by an impressive high-speed rail network, Train a Grande Vitesse, which reaches over 60 destinations across the country at speeds of up to 186 miles per hour.
