LONDON ST PANCRAS LILLE
“A HOLIDAY HOME WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF THE RAILWAY STATION”
PARIS
Andrew Hill, 45, a civil servant specialising in computer systems, bought a one-bedroom apartment at Le Grand Coeur development at Bourg-St-Maurice for €151,000 (£120,750). Andrew, who is a keen climber, has been going to the French Alps for several years. “I’ve always travelled by Eurostar from St Pancras in the ski season, so it’s great to have a holiday home which is within walking distance of both the railway station at Bourg-St-Maurice and the funicular up to Les Arcs. It’s perfect at other times of the year, as it’s much easier to access climbing routes than if my apartment was in a high-altitude ski resort.” Two- and three- bedroom apartments are for sale from €183,000 (£146,400) through MGM (
www.mgmfrenchproperties.com).

There’s a TGV station in the centre of Bourg-St- Maurice, which is very close to Les Arcs and within an easy coach ride of Tignes, Val d’Isère, Villandry and La Rosière. It’s a small bustling town with a good selection of traditional restaurants, and, because it’s low altitude, it’s perfect for hiking and biking in the spring and summer.
