We’ll always have Paris – for farming expos and fine homes  

Farming is big business in France. Every year farmers from across the nation (and beyond) get together at the Salon de l’Agriculture in Paris in February. 

That and Valentine’s Day provide a great excuse to plough through our listings for four great homes near the romantic city of Paris.

  This is a stunning lakeside villa in Enghien Les Bains, 15km outside the city. Offers six bedrooms, a large stretch of waterfront – and a price reduction. Magnifique!

A charming eight-bedroom manor house sitting next to a pretty little river in 3.5 acres an hour south of Paris.

The ultimate city pied a terre with an iconic address? But this duplex property overlooking the Seine and the Louvre could work as a business too.

Romantic one-bed apartment in Montmartre full of sunlight warming its oak parquet flooring – you don’t get much more Parisian than this.
