London dwellers could find property in France‘s Dordogne Valley easier to reach this summer as the capital’s airline, CityJet, begins a new route to the region.

The Midi-Pyrenees regional tourism committee notes the creation of the new route, which links London with Brive.

As a result, UK residents will have three chances each week to fly to a "popular leisure destination" that has not previously been directly accessible.

The tourism body adds that Brive and the Dordogne Valley represent "one of the UK’s best-loved French holiday destinations".

Flights are available until September 12th, but visitors may want to head to property in France‘s Midi-Pyrenees area between July 17th and 22nd for the chance to witness the Tour de France.

A total of five stages of the event are due to take place in the mountainous region, honouring the centenary of the first stages to be held in the Pyrenees mountains.
