Apartment for sale in France

Situated to the south of Arles, and to the west of Marseille in the South of France, this development is set in a fully functional seaside prt. The town benefits from being busy throughout the year with the large import and export businesses that thrive around its more industrial ports, however in the centre is a pretty marina and the new development of shops and businesses around it.

The department of Bouches-du-Rhône (Mouth of the Rhône, 13) is one of six that make up the Provence/Côte d?Azur region. Stretching from Saintes Maries de la Mer at its western corner to just beyond Marseille at its eastern tip, the region boasts two of the most cultural cities in France ? Arles and Aix-en-Provence ? as well as the wild Camargues, famous for its bulls, white horses and sparkling lagoons and sea. Other main towns include Salon-de-Provence, Martigues and Istres. The 298km coastline is home to many small fishing ports and good beaches. Inland the countryside is peppered with old villages, groves of olives, vineyards and majestic houses.

Frances McKay of Francophiles says the cost per square meter of habitable living space in Marseille and the surrounding area is sixth in the national league making it a desirable place to live. ?Over the past five year?s property prices in and around Marseille and the coast have risen by 55% or by 11% annually,?

?Property prices in the area in and around Marseille have risen by 80% in four years thanks to a new, high-speed TGV line linking the city with Paris.? John Henley ? the Guardian

The town has been going through some major refurbishment and a great deal of money has been spent on developing the businesses of the area. The targeted construction of housing to match this development has so far not been reailsed and this is the first of a wave of new properties being built in the area. What makes this development stand out is that it has the ultimate location, being right on the promenade of the marina.

Each apartment is very spacious, and comes with a private loggia, perfect for eating, drinking and maybe even sleeping on! The style of the development is both modern and typical of the seaside marinas in the area. Small business and shops form the ground floor of these apartments which are situated on four levels and over 8 buildings.
