New ski train 'to boost property investment in France'

A new ski train between the UK and the Alps is likely to boost property investment in France, it has been claimed.

Its ease of accessibility is one of the reasons France is particularly popular with UK investors and the new winter service is likely to increase interest further.

Charlie Williams, French property expert at Experience International, said: "The French Alps have and always will offer the finest skiing in Europe in my opinion. Ski property with quick and easy access from the UK is in particularly high demand and the news that you can go from London to the Alps in seven hours spells good news for owners; I fully expect demand and subsequently property values to rise."

The winter Eurostar service will begin on December 19th and will travel from St Pancras and Ashford International to Moutiers, Aime-La-Plage and Bourg St Maurice.

Earlier this month, managing director of French Travel Service Bill Smallwood said that the Eurostar has boosted France's popularity as a holiday destination as people can easily enjoy a comfortable and scenic trip to the nation.
