Market activity across the Channel is starting to increase the possibility of there being a "French property dream", according to one expert.

British buyers, who are increasingly favouring France as a destination for property investment are now looking to France, says Rightmove.

Maud Rousseau from the online estate agent said that the so-called "Spanish dream" could one day be matched the by "French dream".

However, people who buy homes in France tend to do so in order to have a holiday home or as a base to travel to London, while in Spain the property market is driven by pure investment and buy-to-let.

Maud Rousseau commented: "A lot of people used to talk about the 'Spanish dream', living on the Costa del Sol in the 80s and 90s.

"Now, the prices are as high as English prices so Brits start looking elsewhere and France is obviously another option."

However, Ms Rousseau did assert that the overseas property market in France is unlikely to ever be quite as buoyant as that in Spain because the French people "won't let it happen, probably".
