A list of the top coastal destinations in France has been compiled by one newspaper, which could be helpful for those seeking a property in France.
The Guardian spoke to numerous tourism experts in the country to find some of the best beaches around its coastline.
People who want to have stretches of sand within easy reach of their property in France may want to consider Corsica, according to Jacqueline Mirtelli of the France Tourism Development Agency.
She stated that it is "a true paradise for beaches" and highlighted Porto-Pollo in the south of the island, which boasts "a long, white arch of sand in a bay sheltered by green hills".
Meanwhile, those who want to be active during a stay in a French property may want to follow the recommendation of Pascal Boulanger, a world champion funboarder.
He suggested Plage de l'Almanarre at Hyeres, which has perfect conditions for windsurfing, kite surfing and funboarding.
The area around the beach is also a haven for birds, with flamingos among the species that can be spotted in the region.
