Opt for a house in Picardy

For a real taste of life in France, families or retirees looking to settle in the country would do well to consider Picardy as an option.

Located in the north, the region is ideal for those who want to flit back to the UK with ease but still be able to experience the culture and traditions of French life.

Noyon's French market

Perhaps one of the most exciting times to visit the region is during the Marche de Franc, which is held each month in the historic French town of Noyon.

Visitors will see the main roads and Place de l'Hotel de Ville transformed every four weeks by the coming of the large provincial market.

Goods on offer include fruit, vegetables, flowers, wine, champagne and clothes as well as regional specialities.

Sample Picardy's regional treats

Some of the most popular of these are the local cider, known as Thierache, as well as strong local jams and fruit syrups.

Also popular with the French consumers is Picardy foie gras and the region's famous Maroilles cheese.
