Investors with property in France can be generally confident that they will receive a reasonable return on their investment, Nick Dowlatshahi, managing director of Leapfrog Properties, told holidaylettings.co.uk.

Although it is impossible to accurately predict residential market’s performance, some locations should always offer growth, he said.

"To pick individual villages is very difficult, but you can basically say that the Cote d'Azur [will be popular] – it gained 12 per cent last year, while the rest of France gained five per cent, so it shows that the old favourites are still strong," he said, quoted by holidaylettings.co.uk.

Dowlatshahi added that while buying in France is more expensive than in the emerging markets of Bulgaria and Egypt, people can still purchase a good one or two bedroom holiday home for around 100 000 pounds.
