France is the best place for British second home buyers to invest in property at the moment, according to Property Finder France.
Laura Sturgess, web services research assistant at the online portal, said France is "a better bet" than Spain for those looking to make an overseas purchase.
She pointed out that the Eurostar has provided a boost to the French property market as holiday home owners benefit from easy access to the country.
There has also been an increase in the number of cheap flights heading to France and an expansion in the number of regional airports being served, she added.
"France is becoming the most popular place for second homes for the British and is high on the list for other nationalities because of the weak pound against the Euro. It does seem to be the best place to invest at the moment," Ms Sturgess remarked.
According to the Association of International Property Professionals, 17 per cent of all foreign properties bought by UK citizens last year were in France.
