Lock up & Leave (pied-à-terre ) Apartments
This week we are please to showcase a selection of lock up and leave apartments in France. Often referred to as pieds-à-terre in French, these lock up and leave apartments are often renovated, low maintenance second homes that are well suited to frequent travellers, with good access to local transport links and amenities.
Lock up and leave apartments often represent a good investment opportunity due to their urban locations and holiday rental potential. Buying a lock up & leave second home can also provide an affordable base from which to establish your residency and explore a region before taking the plunge and purchasing your primary home in France.
