A new magazine is to be launched aimed at British ex-pats living in France, which will include Brittany property buyers.

Called the French Post, the publication is the brainchild of Nicki Wade – the former head of women’s magazines at Emap – and will have former Independent on Sunday news editor Michael Streeter as its editor.

Speaking to the Press Gazette, Ms Wade said the purpose of the paper would be to help expat Britons integrate, commenting: "We have ambitious aims for the French Post to become a feature of French life itself."

This would include covering current affairs in the country and having French contributors.

Such a publication could be of interest to those thinking of buying Brittany property as it may help them to settle into life in France.

Last month director of the Brittany tourist board Michael Dodds commented that the arrival of more Britons in the inland parts of the region has been a "driving force" in attracting extra tourists to such areas.
