On yer bike for a spring ride from Paris to sunny Nice

Early next month it’s the annual Paris to Nice cycle ride that provides lycra-clad pro’s the chance to make a statement for the start of the 2020 cycling season. So, for those of us who are less energetic we seize the opportunity to peek at some great properties along the route that scythes down eastern France towards the Alps and the Cote d’Azur.  Here are four very worthy stop-offs…

Out of the starting blocks to the avant-garde business district of La Defence in Paris. This is a two-bedroom apartment that is light, airy, well presented and comes with outdoor space. 

Next, we progress swiftly to a bargain in the heart of France. Located in an attractive hamlet in Indre, Centre, this is a three-bedroom detached period property for less than €120k!

Now the heat is on and we’re in beautiful Provence, to find this charming rustic three-bedroom property with pool – it’s all about living life outside here, just picture yourself under that umbrella…

What could be Nicer than this? We reach the end of our tour with a show-stopping little apartment just a stone’s throw from Nice’s old town, and hard to believe in this newly booming city that it’s less than £200k.
