French property seekers offered new reasons to buy

Those wanting to buy a property in France are being offered new kinds of incentives to do so by developers, it has been stated.

In a feature on changing practices, the Independent noted that the tactic of developing new homes alongside tennis courts or golf courses was giving way to more localised themes.

An example given was that of the cookery and archery lessons offered as part of package by French property firm Garrigae.

Company owner Cecile Viennet told the paper: "All the activities in our resorts have been selected for their authenticity, allowing for the discovery of local traditions."

One part of France that may be able to concentrate strongly on cultural themes when looking to attract investors is Marseille and Provence.

This area has been chosen to share the title of European City of culture 2013 with the Slovak city of Kosice, something that may help enhance its attraction to investors.
