British holidaymakers make up the biggest proportion of travellers to the French ski resort of La Tania, which could interest those who own French property in the area.

According to charge de promotion at the Office de Tourisme de La Tania, Arnaud Favet, the reason why British people make up such a large chunk of the tourism market in the area is that many have chosen to settle in the resort – which could mean a high proportion of Brits own French property in the region.

"We have a big English community here with English tourists coming in every year. That’s our first market. Some English locals have been here ten years now and they have pubs, chalets and businesses there," he said.

According to figures published by Crystal Ski, France is still the most popular country for skiing, which could make purchasing a French property a good move for future investment.
