Everyone who has ever dreamt of moving to ‘la Belle France’ will have imagined finding houses for sale in France with a swimming pool. A leisurely day walking through stunning French villages, a light supper, glass of chilled Sauvignon on ‘la terrace’ and then diving into a beautifully crisp swimming pool. Aaah, the perfect French dream.
Yes, swimming pools need cleaning and looking after, and yes, if you’re running a B&B or gite business there are certain safety regulations you have to follow….we know all of that. Think about your early morning dip, or cooling down after a long summer’s day. It is also a great incentive for family and friends to come and visit!
The majority of French properties on the market, thanks to the climate, will have outdoor pools; some prestige properties, particularly in the South of France, may have climate-controlled indoor pools.
