French villagers urge Britons to return for economic revival

French villagers urge Britons to return for economic revival

Posted on December 4, 2023   |  

French villages are urging their government to reconsider rules for Brits with second homes, expressing concerns about negative impacts on local businesses post-Brexit.

Current visa regulations limit Britons with homes in France to a 90-day stay within 180 days, causing distress in local French communities.

These post-Brexit regulations are believed to significantly affect the economies of French villages, resulting in a decline in the number of Brits owning second homes.

The consequence of these rule changes is evident in a notable reduction in the number of Brits owning second homes in France, leading many to sell their properties.

The count of people in England owning second homes in France has decreased from 89,000 in 2008 to 60,000, indicating a substantial drop in recent years.
