French property seekers wanting to get to the heart of French culture and history may choose Bastille Day as a good time to do it.

The occasion marks the anniversary of July 14th 1789 when the famous fortress was stormed, marking the beginning of the French revolution.

Visitors and property investors in Paris on the day will be able to enjoy a huge range of activities and spectacular commemorations.

This begins with the arrival of the president, who will lead a parade down the Champs-Elysees, while later on there will be fireworks and balls, offering plenty of opportunities for dancing and merriment.

When not thinking of liberty, equality and fraternity but rather of property investment, French property buyers should concentrate more specifically on where they wish to buy in the country, rather than general areas, French Property News has advised.

It said this is because there are major variations in each region, such as the south-west – which includes the beaches of Biarritz and the snow-capped mountains of the Pyrenees.
