Properties in Central & East of France
 Properties
in Alsace Lorraine & Franche-Comte
Alcace,Lorraine & Franche-Comte
Attractive medieval villages, woods and quaint towns make Alsace
a much visited area. Its neighbour Lorraine
is less well known although it was the site of the battle of Verdun,
one of the most tragic of the First World War. The adjoining mountainous
Jura and Vosges has high forests,
lakes and meadows, gorges and waterfalls and is excellent for both
cross-country skiing in the winter and mountain biking and walking
in the summer
 Properties
in Burgundy
Burgundy
This central region of France, is known most famously for its wines
but it is also a great touring area. The ancient Roman ruins are
evidence of its long history, and the many Romanesque churches reflect
its past as the most powerful region of France under the Dukes of
Burgundy. Visit its beautiful regional park; sample some of the
World's great wines on the routes des vins; walk or cycle along
its canal paths; rent a barge and really get away from it all. The
Burgundy scenery is peaceful and pastoral, with rolling hills, open
fields and woods. There is plenty of easy walking on marked paths
throughout the region. Because the hills are not too steep, this
is ideal cycling country, but it can be hot in summer
 Properties
in The Alps
The French Alps
Breathtaking mountains and deep valleys form Alpine France which
borders Switzerland and Italy. In summer this is a wonderful place
for walkers and mountain bikers of all aptitudes, with countless
kilometres of marked paths in the valleys and foothills and endless
opportunities for exploring the high mountains, although here a
guide is recommended. In the winter it is a skiers' paradise containing
some of the best high altitude ski resorts in Europe. In the north
the area borders the southern shores of Lake Geneva,
or Lac Leman, with every sort of water based activity
in one of Europe’s most beautiful settings
