Brits returning for holidays in France

Those who have invested in French property, particularly in the south of France, will be pleased to know that Brits are heading back for their summer holidays in their droves.

According to the latest figures, the number of UK visitors to some French regions has pushed sales up by 36 per cent, with many families choosing camping trips or to rent out holiday homes.

Research by campsite operator Eurocamp shows that the regions of Brittany and the Pyrenees have shown the steepest rise in popularity this year.

'Boom' in Brittany and Pyrenees


Deborah Beckett, managing director of Eurocamp, said: "France is booming this season, especially key regions like Brittany and the Pyrenees."

The increase in the number of tourists spending their holidays in France was also noted by Brittany Ferries, which saw an increase of bookings for the summer months.

Investors look set to profit from the boom, which sees a change from more recent trends to head further afield for holidays.

It is thought that many people are choosing destinations closer to home to reduce their carbon footprint created by long haul flights.

Green families choosing French tourism


Ms Beckett said: "Families are thinking much more carefully about the impact they have on the environment and the potential stress involved from travelling to their holiday destination and this could be one of the factors influencing their return to France."
