Avignon, France | International Property watch

Avignon is a beautiful and historically significant city situated in the heart of Provence. The reason for Avignon’s importance is that it used to be the home for all of the Catholic Popes when they weren’t resident in the Vatican, in Rome. Avignon was called “the great city of the popes”.

avignon property

As a result of this significance, the city was visited by some of most wealthy people in the world, from Royalty to visiting dignitaries. Consequently property for sale in Avignon is on the expensive side, but any property investors would be shrewd to purchase in the area because of the potential returns. Just like other areas in Provence, property for rent in Avignon also commands high prices, so could make a lucrative investment.

The summer months are especially popular for property rentals due to the warm weather and the festivals held during the summer. The city plays host to two different theatrical festivals every summer making the city a thriving tourist destination. Don’t worry about it becoming too saturated with tourists though as the city boasts enough bistros to allow the locals room to escape the hoards.

If it’s a quiet lifestyle that you’re looking for, you could search the less crowded surrounding villages for property to buy in Avignon, as you may even find better value for money.

Paris, France | International Property Watch

Paris is known as the city of romance and is one of the most cosmopolitan and busy cities in the world. The architecture is beautiful, the restaurants are legendary and you’d struggle to find a city that was brimming with as much culture.

Paris property

In terms of property for sale in Paris, you’ll find that prices can be on a par with London and space is just as much at a premium, especially in the centre of Paris. However, what you lack in space in Paris you more than make up for with grandeur. Many properties in Paris overlook some of the most famous landmarks in the world, such as the Eiffel Tower, the Arch de Triumph and the Louvre.

Just like London, Paris also stands on the side of a river, the River Seine. Network links within the city are excellent, with easy access to the airport and train stations provided by the Metro.

One of the best aspects of owning a property in Paris is the rental potential you could earn from letting it out to tourists. Property for rent in Paris is sought after all year round, rather than just the summer months, so you’ll never have to worry about downtime with your investment.
