Basse Normandy – more commonly known internationally as Lower Normandy – is one of France’s premier tourism regions and boasts uniquely spectacular natural beauty. Delivering the quintessential French seaside experience for millions of domestic and foreign vacationers each and every year, its strategic location helps bring together the country’s rich history with its contemporary living standards. Like most of France, there has been little evidence of an economic turnaround in recent years, but with low property values and favourable mortgage rates, the right holiday home - whether for long-term stays or short-term rentals - can be an attractive investment proposition. The yields may be moderate, but demand is strong.
