Britons 'consider commuting from France'

The growing accessibility of France is prompting many Britons to consider moving there permanently, according to experts.

Currency specialist HiFX stated that some people from the UK were thinking of relocating to France because transport links were improving, making it possible to commute between the two countries.

This was said to have resulted in a surge of interest in the French property market.

The comments come ahead of the launch of a new rail link by Eurostar, which will reduce the overall journey time for passengers by about 20 minutes.

Mark Bodega, director at HiFX, commented: "It is now increasingly feasible for buyers to have the best of both worlds, living permanently in what was a holiday home and commuting back to the UK when necessary."

The new high-speed rail link between Paris and St Pancras will commence operations on November 14th.

Earlier this week, the London-based station was officially opened by the Queen after an £800 million upgrade.
