jane9425 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Hi! We are very close to buying in Briancon - mainly for the skiing in this area. Lots of worries though-is there enough here to do in the summer? What is it like to live here? There was no flexibility in the price at all but I am anxious about the market. Has anyone seen if prices are dropping in ski areas or in France in general? Haven't signed anything at the moment so still time to change my mind. If you live in this area or any thoughts, I'd appreciate hearing from you.

Cendrillon Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I can't comment on property prices at all.I was working there one Summer for a week or so, delightful in June, old town is charming and plenty of restaurants, various festivals too. I suppose it depends what you are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardengirl Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 We know the surrounding area fairly well - we've visited for about 12 years - only in the summer/early autumn, & know nothing about prices. We are keen walkers, and the area all around is a delight. There is a lot going on in summer, but come the end of August a lot closes down until the ski season starts up. Depending on how close the town is, there may or may not be shops etc available to you.Would you plan to live there all year, or perhaps rent out? There are many summer visitors, so renting out could be on.Best wishes, Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cendrillon Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 It is very easy to get to Turin from Briancon so you could always go for a short trip / w/end break if life was too dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
