property abroad in brittany might provide good venue for holiday
News Posted On: 17 June 2009
A property abroad in Brittany could be the perfect base for a family holiday this summer, a media outlet has suggested.
Families in the UK have been advised to consider spending time in a property abroad in Brittany.
According to Chloe Bryan Brown of the Guardian, the French region offers a number of attractions to children and older people.
For example, some of its properties were said to include features that make it ideal for family holidays, such as swimming pools and other leisure facilities.
The newspaper also praised the scenery in Brittany, in particular the "sweeping bay" or Douarnenez.
Consumers in the UK were also advised that the area is easily accessible, as there are regular and affordable ferry crossings at regular intervals.
This could make the destination ideal for holiday home buyers who wish to spend time abroad, as well as overseas property investors who want to cash in on Brittany's popularity with tourists.
The report comes shortly after Carolyn Boyd, editor of France Magazine, told the Times that rental apartments in Brittany are increasing in popularity this year.
