Two New Developments, as Leasebacks Offer Enhanced Value Off Weak Euro, Reports Frenchleasebacks.co.uk

LONDON, March 10, 2010 - The recent weakening of the euro against the US dollar has opened up new
opportunities for US, Middle and Far Eastern expatriate investors looking to
purchase property in the Euro zone. While general savings rates have
reflected the near zero levels of Central Bank interest rates, leaseback
developments in France continue to offer indexed returns of up to 4.5%.
Capitalising on the interest this has provoked, Frenchleasebacks.co.uk
(www.frenchleasebacks.co.uk/), the UK portal offering over 45
leaseback developments and fully managed buy to let homes in France has
announced two new developments which it is marketing to UK and expatriate
buyers.

Situated at the centre of the major ski resorts of the Tarentaise Valley
which is home to the world famous centres of Val d 'Isere, Tignes, Les Arcs,
La Plagne, the Sainte-Foy ski resort (
www.frenchleasebacks.co.uk/acatalog/rhone_alps.html#a77) offers a
range of skiing experiences from black runs through to country skiing through
alpine forests to wide gentle blue and green pistes more suitable for the
beginner. Sainte Foy has long enjoyed a reputation for being a good-value
destination for off-piste skiers, due to the excellent, rugged terrain
accessible from its ski lifts. It is also popular due to its proximity to
Italy, where heli-skiing - being taken to remote locations by helicopter
rather than ski lift - is still legal. Sainte Foy offers charming
restaurants, some of the oldest surviving chapels in the Alps and listed
buildings with quirky stone columns holding up overhanging roofs. Officials
in Sainte Foy have imposed strict guidelines on new buildings so that the
chalet style is preserved. The main materials used are larch from the local
forests, stone and slate. Sainte Foy's ski lift and piste network has been
extended to offer 13 groomed runs catering for those at strong intermediate
level. One to four bed duplex apartments are available from 170,000 euros
yielding up to 3.8% in this popular resort.

Away from the snow, the new Center Parcs Village (
www.frenchleasebacks.co.uk/acatalog/rhone_alps.html#a77), the Domaine
de la Foret de Chambaran, is located in Isere, in a protected site, at the
heart of the Chambaran forest. Close to Grenoble, Lyon and Switzerland, it is
easily accessible from the UK. Built and designed in accordance with the
French High Environmental Quality standards, each cottage has its own
character. Comfort, Premium or VIP, with their pleasant, spacious, bright and
specially designed interiors, they offer a unique quality of life. The
Village provides many outdoor and indoor activities to suit all tastes: Water
sports, spa and sauna, animal farm, archery, tennis, bowling, skate park, and
much more. Two, three and four bed cottages are on offer, with a guaranteed
return of up to 4.5%.

In both cases, owners can take advantage of generous holiday usage
allowances, so combining an investment with a holiday asset.
