Buying Investment Property in France?

I have considered and initially discounted Nice, I understand what you mean it will be easier language wise, but I go to the Alps once or twice a year so Lyon is much more convenient for me. I'm not too concerned about the language side of things, with patience and if I find the right people to work with it should be ok I think. And Nice seems like it has inflated prices from the English investors, and too reliant on tourism for my liking.

If you have to buy, buy in Grenoble

Grenoble is an interesting option to me. Not one I would have expected someone to mention. I've been there a number of times and it's nice, but quite small really. Out of curiosity why is Grenoble your 'only place to buy in France'?

It is not my only place, but a promising one.

It's a city that has grown a lot in the past 20 years. Top business school there now (by top I mean top 5/6 in France, not in the league of Harvard or anything like that), close to ski resort, quite a few high tech firms etc etc.
