Settle in the city of Lille
When trying to pick the best spot to buy French property there is often too much choice, but one popular city which welcomes more and more Brits each year is Lille.
Located in the heart of the Nord Pas de Calais region, the city offers plenty for families, retirees or newlyweds hoping to start a new life abroad.
The city is also ideal for those who have friends and family in the UK who they want to be able to visit with ease as it is also at the centre of the country's high speed rail network.
Attractions of Lille But the area's transport links are not the only thing that attracts people to this part of the world. It also offers up cultural delights, French and Flemish gastronomy and shopping.
There is plenty to explore and even those who have bought French property in other parts of the country are advised to head down and relax in one of the city's cafes or stroll through its elegant squares.
For those who want to splash out there is lots on offer for the avid shopper with rue de la Grande Chaussee in the old town packed with antique shops, shoe shops and designer outlets.
Plenty on offer every day of the week On Sunday, visitors can enjoy strolling through the Wazemmes market where they can pick up bargains on, among other items, clothes, food and flowers.
After all that shopping, most people will want to relax and for its size Lille has a surprising amount of open spaces and green areas.
Kids can enjoy a trip to the local zoo or explore the parks and woodland on the outskirts of the city.
