property in provence is good for epicureans
News Posted On: 02 July 2009
Those looking to retire in the sun and enjoy simple pleasures in their later years have been advised to consider buying property in Provence.
According to BusinessWeek, the region is ideally suited to those who wish to enjoy some of the best food in the world after they retire.
"Epicureans can revel in the local cuisines of Provence in southern France," the publication commented.
Provence and the south of France was recently praised by US president Barack Obama when he visited the country last month.
When asked what it was he liked about France, he said: "Well, let's see. We got the food. We've got Paris. We've got the south of France with Provence and the wine."
Those who are a little more adventurous and would like to see the whole of the country before they settle in Provence might wish to consider looking at mobile homes for sale in France.
