The famed healthcare system, fabulous food and wine and beautiful, traditional villages make it a top choice for those looking for a laid-back lifestyle. And with house prices in France remaining stable for decades, it’s possible to enjoy an idyllic lifestyle across the Channel and still have change left over.

The France Show 2013 comes to Earls Court London from 18-20 January 2013, bringing the best of France – from dream properties to champagne and cancan dancers – to London for three days. The French Property Exhibition is part of the show and features thousands of great-value homes for sale in all corners of France.

Estate agents will be on hand so visitors can get the lowdown on French life and get a feel for what’s on the market. Buying property in France is straightforward when armed with the right advice and the France Show is the perfect chance to meet the experts on this side of the Channel. The free property seminars will feature French specialists offering advice on essential topics such as tax, finance and healthcare.

Of course, good-value French property isn’t the only reason homebuyers love France so much and The France Show celebrates the best things about our Gallic neighbour. Visitors can shop for freshly baked croissants, perfect patisseries, rustic charcuterie and artisan-produced cheeses at the French market and savour regional wines and discover new favourites in the tutored wine seminars. For those looking for some inspiration in the kitchen, chefs will flambé and sauté the finest of ingredients in the Food Theatre.

Kate Mosse, author of Labyrinth, will be recounting tales of intrigue from her bestselling Languedoc trilogy while actress and olive farmer Carol Drinkwater will share experiences of filming her new documentary series The Olive Route. It’s a chance to discover new French destinations as well as fun ways to get to know the country better from touring France in a classic car, taking a peaceful boating holiday or a gourmet cookery course. And for those whose language skills are a bit rusty, the experts in the Language Theatre will be sharing tips and tricks on learning the lingo.

So, what better way to start the New Year than with the pop of a champagne cork and the high kicks of the cancan girls? Come along to the France Show 2013 and enjoy the best of France all under one roof.
