Rail boost for French property

Investors on the popular French market will no doubt be delighted then to hear that the country's famous high-speed rail system - TGV - is being expanded all the time and is set to cover even more of the country over the next few years. What is more, France can now be reached by rail from the UK via the Channel Tunnel, allowing for seamless almost door-to-door travel. According to the Daily Telegraph, "the development of France's high-speed rail network is opening up potential new markets for overseas buyers". A new service between Paris and Strasbourg was launched earlier this month and reportedly cut travel times between the two cities by half.
