France is home to many of the world’s largest linked ski regions: the 3 Vallées, Paradiski and Espace Killy all offer endless high-altitude pistes and dramatic alpine scenery.

In summer, La Clusaz, Chamonix, Les Gets and Morzine attract active families enjoying long days in the mountains. The resorts range from the purpose-built, ski-to-the-door convenience of Les Deux Alpes or Alpe d’Huez to the authentic charm of Châtel, Megève or Samoëns.

Buying in France: what you need to know

Every purchase goes through a notary, a public official, whom you may appoint or your agent can recommend. After the initial contract you will have a 10-day cooling-off period. For an existing property the purchase process usually takes three to four months from the time the offer is accepted until you receive your keys. Annual property taxes are set commune by commune, so ask the seller for the current bills.
