If you are looking to buy French property, Avignon offers superb opportunities for French investment properties. It is situated on the left bank of the Rhône and lies about 580 km (360 miles) south-south-east of Paris. Flights to closest airports, Marseille and Toulon are available from over 20 UK airports. Flight times to the UK take around 1 hour and 30 minutes.

With a population of 86,000, Avignon offers a large enough centre for a wide variety of facilities but it's small enough to offer some intimacy too. It has a farmers market and an established wine trade and plays hosts to a world famous theatre festival every year.

Property organisation, nvillas, can help you buy French property in Avignon. They enjoy good working relationships with estate agents in the south of France and can find you properties in Languedoc Roussillon, Poitou-Charentes, midi Pyrenees, other parts of Provence, Aquitaine, Auverne, Limousin, Burgundy, Cote d'Azur and Rhone Alps.

If you're not looking to invest but want to spend some time in France, with work or play, you can also find out about rental accommodation opportunities with nvillas including French Riviera villa rental and villas in the Cote d'Azur.
