On the Slopes of France or Sitting Next to the Fire

In just a few days, we will say goodbye to 2006 and welcome in the new year with our family and friends. For many, these are relaxed days in cold climates taking advantage of the snowy season to hit the slopes or drink a hot toddy around a glowing fire.

France is brimming with ski resorts and cozy chalets in which to call home while testing the down hill adrenalin. In today issue, the last issue of the year, we honor these special areas of France that give devoted skiers a reason to visit them year after year and possibly own an A-shaped home with a big fireplace and ski wear in the closets.
Property prices for all of France for third quarter have been recently published, showing continued stability, but slower growth. Have a good hard look at how real estate countrywide has continued to prove to be a worthwhile investment for more the last 13 years.
We also wouldn’t want to ignore the “bubbly” at this time of year! Don’t miss what one little French town is doing to preserve its legendary origins of sparkling Perrier! To this particular town, it’s more important than Champagne!
Tomorrow John Howell and our team of experts will be making important presentations to a group of eager investors at the Living and Investing in France Real Estate Seminar here in Paris. There is still room for last minute attendees…registration is at 8:30 a.m. at Chez Jenny. Be there if you can — there is nothing else you can do in less time and as inexpensively to learn all you need to learn to make your dream to live in France come true.
I hope to see you there…
A Bientôt et Bonne Année!

France Property Prices Remain Stable 3rd Quarter
By Adrian Leeds
According to the INSEE (Institut National de la Statistique et des Études Économiques) and FNAIM (Fédération Nationale de l’Immobilier), during the month of November 2006, deeds of resale homes registered showed small decrease of -0.6%, while the prices of apartments remained stable. For the quarter, prices for both homes and apartments increased slightly at +0.9% with an annual growth of +7.3%. The growth is about 3 points less than the growth shown over 2005.

The years 2004 to 2005 showed the most growth, annually 15.5%, but we see prices stabilizing over 2005 and now in 2006.

All of France has experienced a strong property market growth since a low in 1992, thanks to the solvency of the buyers: the power to purchase due to increased personal revenue, low interest rates and long term mortgages, favorability toward resale properties and the continued appreciation of housing prices.

Interest rates remain favorable to buyers. In spite of slight increases this past ye
ar, more lenders are
offering longer term loans and more creative solutions. Loans of up to 30 years are now possible and interest rates remain between 3.55% and 4.2% on fixed-rate loans.

Paris naturally offers the highest cost per square meter apartments at 5853€, seconded by the Côte d’Azur with 4237€ in Cannes and 3612€ in Nice, however the strongest growth countrywide is on the east with as much as 18.9% in Nancy and 15.5% in Dijon.

French Village Fights for Their Perrier
From WaterTechOnline.com
http://www.watertechonline.com/

LES BOUILLENS, FRANCE — The mayor of this small village has taken legal action to rename his village with the Perrier brand, claiming that Nestlé plans to move its Perrier bottling plant overseas, a December 20 Guardian Unlimited story reported.
The Perrier water comes from a spring adjoining the village. Vergèze, which was once named Les Bouillens, meaning “bubbling spring.” The mayor wants to rename the village “Source Perrier,” in hopes of taking ownership of the name brand to keep the village’s identity and heritage, the story said.
According to the article, the mayor is backed by 1,000 residents worried that Nestlé, Perrier’s manufacturer, might move the bottling plant to China or Africa to cut costs.
Mayor René Balana said in the story, “Everyone here has referred to Les Bouillens as Source Perrier for over 60 years. It’s in the common language, so our case is solid. Perrier is our cultural, geographical and historic heritage.”
A spokesperson for Nestlé Waters France, Pierre-Alexandré Teulie, said in the article, “We own the place and we own the brand. It’s not up to the mayor to change the name of a private property.”
Teulie said the question of whether the plant will be moved wasn’t relevant, and Nestlé plans to invest heavily in new Perrier lines and national advertisements, the story said…

Ski Season in the Alps Has Arrived and Competition Over Property is Fierce
By Imoinvest
http://www.easier.com
The long awaited ski season in the Alps has finally arrived and with this comes fierce competition over properties as many are snapped up by investors. The French property market continues to perform to the highest levels and there has been a marked increase in the number of British investors now buying ski properties rather than their traditional approach of renting in the main season.
Hotel du Golf is a leaseback investment opportunity in the Les Arcs region of the Alps. This four star development offers unparalleled facilities and comes to the market as a ‘pure’ investment opportunity. Capital gains potential is extremely high and rental income is guaranteed at 4.5% net per annum for a minimum of 9 years. Prices start at just £64,184 for a studio apartment rising up to £109,450 and above for a one bedroom apartment.

Julien Lu Regional Director of IMOINVEST says, “Property markets tend to go in cycles and with the UK at a sluggish stage it has led many British investors looking overseas in order to achieve capital appreciation. Investing in strong markets such as the French ski market is actually a shrewd move. Rentals throughout the main ski seasons vary but are among some of the highest in Europe and in the long run it is almost certainly more cost effective to buy rather than rent. The fear of emerging ski locations in ‘new’ European countries has been unfounded and if anything, has further enhanced the French ski resorts as a premier destination. France is a thoroughbred country that enjoys strong economics and is not solely reliant on tourism. It benefits from an abundance of budget airline flights and is renowned as worldwide popular destination. Those looking for a strong investment providing good capital appreciation and high rentals would struggle to find anywhere in Europe that offers the same potential, I believe that the next few years will see significant property price increases as more and more investors look to take advantage of the French market.”
Rentals in these sought after areas according to the FNAIM (Federation of Nationale de I’Immobilier) have already reported a 3% rise in 2006. This big increase in rentals endorses the fact that property price increases are expected. Average growth in the French Alps for the last ten years has been at an outstanding 10% per annum. The reason for this is that there are limited properties available but with a much higher demand. In France you have what is called a ‘Loi montagnes.’ This actually limits the number of building permissions delivered to French developers in order to protect the environment and landscapes.
Julien adds, “If you are planning to purchase a property in any of the French ski resorts you must make sure that you have your paperwork ready and that you are in a position to put a deposit down. Such is the ‘bullishness’ of this market, that a property you have viewed may no longer be available after a few hours.
The local pr
operty markets are in full swing and there will be no let up in the following months as there is no shortage of investors.”
Editor’s Note: IMOINVEST are full service advisors offering knowledge of the financial and investment aspects that apply to each of their developments.

Adrian Leeds, Parler Paris, French Property Insider and John Howell & Co. of International Law Partnership Present the…
Living and Investing in France
Real Estate Seminar
December 29, 2006
Chez Jenny, Paris, France
If you’ve always dreamed of moving to France, starting a new life in Paris, enjoying a “pied-à-terre” of your own part of the year or perhaps investing in property in France, this power-packed seminar is a MUST. Hosted by Adrian Leeds, Editor of the Parler Paris Nouvellettre^® and French Property Insider weekly e-zine and John Howell, lead attorney for John Howell & Co., International Law Partnership, London, this one day in Paris will put you on the right footing to make it happen!
We are very lucky to have two new presenters added to the roster, both of whom will be expanding on the idea of how to make your hard-earned savings grow, grow, grow, while enjoying every penny during your lifetime…particularly in such a beautiful place as Paris and France.
Let me introduce to you a new partner in John Howell’s International Law Partnership, Graham Platt. Platt is not only a qualified solicitor in England, but is also an admitted “avocat” (lawyer) in France who specializes in French Law and is an acknowledged expert in advising on property transactions in France. He is also completely bi-lingual in French and English.
For the first time, he will be joining John Howell during some of the most vital presentations!:
* Why Invest in Property in France?…
* How to Buy and Own Property in France!…
* and How to Minimize Your Tax and Maximize the Benefits!
Another surprise to top off an already impressive line-up of experts is Tarek Richey’s participation. A financial advisor for Raymond James Financial Services, he has lived in Expat communities his whole life having spent his younger years in the Middle and Far East, college years in the U.K. where he attended Wellington College continuing to the U.S.A. to study at Washington College, Maryland. Richey was District Manager of SunAmerica Securities before joining Raymond James Financial Services, Inc. where he is now focusing primarily on tax efficient retirement and income solutions — international wealth management with tax minimization and asset protection strategies to U.S. Expat individuals and business owners.
T
hat may seem like a mouthfu
l, but his clear and concise presentation will be the last and appropriately so: “How to Outlive Your Income!” — covering topics such as global tax issues, asset allocation and hedging the dollar/euro so you never outlive your income.
You will learn how to…
* Why Invest in Property in France?
* Find Your Dream Apartment in Paris or Home in the Country!
* Buy and Own Property in France!
* How to Obtain a Mortgage!
* Reduce Your Currency Exchange Risk!
* How to Minimize Your Tax and Maximize the Benefits!
* Rent Your French Property for Profit!
* Plus, answer all the rest of your questions during a Q and A panel with the presenters.
The Seminar Location
Historical Chez Jenny
39 boulevard du Temple
Place de la République
75003 Paris
“An authentic Brasserie with a soul, a style and a history.”
At the colonial exhibition in 1930, Robert Jenny had a kiosk where he sold produce from his region: salt-pickled cabbage choucroute, sausages and beer. Appreciating Parisian life and noting that the fine Alsatian products attracted the Parisians, this native of Strasbourg sought to set up business in the capital. He found just the right place not far from the place de la République, at number 39 boulevard du Temple. This was the hall where the former Victor ball was held. The quarter was lively, even though it no longer deserved the reputation of «Crime Boulevard» that it had had in the 18th century, when the plays billed at the many theatres in the area mainly drew inspiration from the items in the news.
The seminar includes a three-course lunch with Kir, wine and coffee!
Menu (subject to change):
* Kir Vin Blanc à l’Edelzwicker d’Alsace and Bretzels
* Terrine de Canard aux Pistaches, Chutney de Fruits Secs
* Suprême de Volaille à la Moutarde, Nid d’Alsace aux Légumes
* Crème Brûlée Caramélisée à la Cassonade
* Wine or Mineral Water, Coffee

SKI IN SKI OUT IN THE HEART OF CHAMROUSSE
Ski-in-ski-out leaseback development in the heart of the Chamrousse ski resort near shops, restaurants, bars and ski lifts. Located in the Isère region of the French Alps, in the famous station where Jean-Claude Killy carried out his famous exploits during the Olympic Game
s of 1968. Ideally located only 30 minutes from
Grenoble and 1 hour from Lyon and Valence. The development is located in the first part of the Chamrousse ski resort, at 1650m, in an area called Le Recoin.
The surrounding area is busy with shops, bars, restaurants and accommodations, and is within walking distance to the lifts and the slopes. This 3-star development benefits from a close proximity to all the action, and is also incredibly easy to access as it is close to one of the main village roads. The apartments are for the most part south facing and each has a large balcony to make the most of the winter sun. There is underground and exterior parking with private lock ups for ski equipment. Inside the development there is a large and welcoming entrance lobby which leads in to a lounge area with an open fireplace and comfy sofas, perfect for unwinding at the end of a fantastic day of skiing.

*** La Cellette
9-bedroom Château in the Dorgogne with Guest Cottage
Celles, Dorgogne – Gorgeous 15th century château, heart of French countryside, sleeps up to 18, private bathrooms in every room. The restored château, next to the church in the very center of Celles, whose bells toll three times a day, is vintage 15th-century built by the family of Dulau d’Allemans. Their name is identified in the letterpress edition of the papers of George Washington. It was a ruin until the current owner employed a master architect from the region who fully understood the character of the house, and whose investigative powers led him to find the hidden massive stone fireplaces and secret stairwells. Together they restored the 15th-century manor into a 21st-century splendor.
