It’s easy to find a wide selection of French country cottages online, typically for a lot less than you would pay for a comparable house in the UK. Whether you want to move to France permanently, or you are looking for a holiday home, it’s not hard to see the appeal of France, with its good food, fine wine, beautiful countryside, and relaxed way of life. Cottages and houses can be found all over France, and inexpensive flights from many UK airports have made getting there easy, even if you are going for just a long weekend. One of the biggest challenges may be finding the perfect area of France to move to; Brittany and Normandy have always been popular and are the closest areas to the UK, while for better weather, the southwest of the country is the place to look.
