Over the past 18 years French Property News, the leading magazine dedicated to issues involved in buying French property, has been a major influence in a changing market. In the early days, most French property buyers were seeking a holiday or retirement home. In recent years there has been a growing trend for people to purchase a permanent residence in France, often young couples or families seeking a new way of life.

FPN’s diverse readership is reflected in the wide-ranging content in the magazine, covering every aspect of this fascinating market. From articles about the different regions, aimed at helping readers choose a location for their new property, to vital legal and financial pieces, not forgetting valuable readers’ experiences, information on renovation and new developments, and much more – all are essential reading for anyone considering a property purchase in France. Perhaps this is why FPN is often referred to by readers as their French property ‘bible’.
