Dordogne described as 'most beautiful' for buyers

The Dordogne region of France offers one of the best prospects for overseas buyers due to its attractiveness, it has been stated.

According to Frenchestateagents.com, "many people, including many expatriates, feel that the Dordogne is one of the most beautiful regions of France".

The site noted that the department has ten per cent of all the chateaux in France and has good air links with the UK via Limoges, Bergerac and Bordeaux airports.

It made the comments about the region while giving an example of one of the properties it offers, a four-bedroom house worth EUR376,000 (GBP322,000).

Those keen to buy a home in France may find it costs them less to do so in the near future, according to a senior Bank of England official.

Adam Posen, who is to become the newest member of the Bank's Monetary Policy Committee, told the House of Commons Treasury Select Committee that the pound will trade at a higher level against the euro in the medium term.
