The Alsace region of France is set to stage a wide number of events this summer, a representative of tourism promotion firm Alsace in the UK has stated.

Spokesman for the organisation Tony Oliver said that this year will see the centenary of the production of the first Bugatti car in Molsheim near Strasbourg, commenting that "any car lover should be there".

He added that the International Beer Festival is to take place in Strasbourg this year instead of its normal venue of Montreal, while the Tour de France also passes through the region.

Such events may attract French property seekers keen to enjoy some good events in the coming months.

Mr Oliver also noted the numerous cycling opportunities and tourist routes that are on offer, with these being based on products including wine, chocolate, fried carp, cabbage and asparagus.

French property buyers may also be interested in the region’s wines, which are to have a stand at the London International Wine Fair next month.
