Britons looking to purchase property abroad should consider homes in France .
This is because the country has been picked out as the best option at the moment by a Savills report for the Daily Telegraph.
The range of dwellings on offer is among the best in the world, while certain parts of the country - such as Brittany and Normandy - are easily accessible from the UK.
"French banks have continued to lend on second homes, stimulating the market," the report stated.
Prices are bouncing back after taking a 20 per cent drop in the cost of a dwelling between 2007 and 2009.
Other countries that fared well in the study are the US, Portugal and Italy.
The French ski resort of Megeve recently recorded a 4.3 per cent growth in real estate prices in the year to June 2011, according to the Knight Frank Ski Resort Property Index.
Meanwhile, US locations Telluride and South Lake Tahoe saw prices fall annually.
