Nice International Airport is France’s second largest airport behind Paris. There are also a large number of the budget airlines such as EasyJet servicing Nice from all the major European cities, offering great value flights. Plus, the Côte d’Azur is less than a 2 hour flight from most European capitals such as London & other Northern European capitals. You are promised a mild climate in the winter and a wonderfully long, hot summer – The South of France boasts over 300 days of sunshine a year.

According to FNAIM prices are stabilizing and prices are currently related to the levels they reached in the 3^rd quarter of 2005. So, 2012 is definitely the time to invest in a property in Cannes, Nice, Antibes or anyone of the many beautiful villages in the South of France.
