Apartment for sale in France

Just released is this new development consisting of 120 apartments ranging from 1 bedroom to 3 bedroom units, situated in the Loire.

The last untamed river in Europe and one with many features, sometimes calm, sometimes wild, the Loire has an unpredictable temperament that always surprises. Leafy islets and tropical flowers, shifting sandbanks and elusive beavers ? these are just some of the things on offer! Wild it may be, and yet the hand of humankind has also helped to bring out the best of these sumptuous, changing landscapes. The many châteaux dotted along the river are a reminder that the Loire has always attracted the great and the powerful, while picturesque villages alternate with towns rich in art and history.

It is thanks to this astonishing originality that the Loire Valley has just been listed on the UNESCO World Heritage. Renowned for its sumptuous châteaux, the relics of royal days gone by, the glorious valley of the Loire is rich in both history and architecture. Like the river Loire, this vast region runs through the heart of French life. Its sophisticated cities, luxuriant landscape and magnificent food and wine add up to a bourgeois paradise.

Orleans was France's intellectual capital in the 13th century, attracting artists, poets and troubadours to the royal court. But the medieval court never stayed in one place for long, which led to the building of magnificent châteaux all along the Loire. Chambord and Chenonceaux, the two greatest Renaissance châteaux remain prestigious symbols of royal rule, resplendent with their ornamental gardens.

Due to its central location, culture and fine cuisine, Tours is the natural visitor's capital.

Angers is a close second, but more authentic are the historic towns of Amboise, Blois, Saumur and Beaugency, strung out like jewels along the river. This is the classic Loire valley, a château trail which embraces the Renaissance gardens of Villandry and the fairytale turrets of Azay-le-Rideau. Venture northwards and the cathedral cities of Le Mans and Chartres reign supreme, their medieval centers bordered by Gallo-Roman walls. Nantes in the west is a breezy, forward-looking port and gateway to the Atlantic.

Properties are being sold with a lease contract to be held with one of France?s more established management companies and owners will have the choice between occupation options:
