1st May 2008 - Burgundy and the Loire – new to PureFrance, May 2008.

PureFrance continues to expand its boundaries in 2008, and we are delighted to announce that we are now representing rental properties in Burgundy and the Loire Valley.

Burgundy is one of the most beautiful regions of France, well-known of course for its stunning countryside and famous wines. The local cuisine leans heavily on red wine and Charollais beef and is a gastronomic treat for all foodies.

Close to home and accessible for all coming from the UK, Burgundy offers a taste of real, rural France with a superb summer climate.

In the coming months, PureFrance will bring you an ever-expanding range of quality holiday accommodation throughout the region.

For starters, have a look at this outstanding manor house with tennis court, private pool and expansive grounds. Complete with full-time cook !

The neighbouring area covering the Loire valley offers the opportunity to discover an unforgettable part of France’s history with its wealth of chateaux and its picturesque riverside towns and villages. Saumur is unmissable with its spectacular castle, and from Angers in the west to Orleans and Bourges in the east, there is something for all Francophiles and first-time visitors to enjoy. And don’t forget a small town producing possible the best white wine in the world…Sancerre.

If you are a property owner in either of these areas, we would be delighted to hear from you; info@PureFrance.com

Firstly, you may have noticed that our website has undergone a complete overhaul. We wanted to make it even better than the last; easier to use, easier to navigate with improved presentation of our wonderful portfolio of rental properties throughout France.
We have responded to considerable feedback from our holidaying clients and our property owners and have produced what we are confident is an unbeatable result. Have a look through the pages and see what you think. Simple, honest facts with an emphasis on a clear and comprehensive set of photographs and relative information.

Over the years, our portfolio has rapidly developed and grown and we have added a large selection of prestigious and highly unique properties that deserve to be featured within their own domain; our ongoing concern is to maximise the rental potential of all our properties and ‘FinestFrance.com’ allows us to exploit new, expanded and very selective marketing and advertising opportunities.
