BRITISH FAMILIES CHOOSE PARC LIFE IN FRANCE
Siblu exclusif announces 1000th British owner
Holiday parc specialist siblu exclusif (www.sibluexclusif.com) has welcomed its 1000th British holiday home owner in France following the launch of four new locations this year.
The company sells luxury mobile homes on top-of-the-range holiday parcs with prices from as little as £20,000, offering an alternative to high-cost traditional holiday properties that make many French coastal resorts expensive for families.
Siblu owns 12 parcs across France, with newly acquired sites in popular holiday locations including the Cote d’Azur and Normandy. An added advantage for owners is that holiday parcs are packed with pools, sports facilities and restaurants.
Farmhouses and gites, most without any leisure facilities, attract prices in excess of £100,000 — and as much as £500,000 on the south coast — and still require regular investment for maintenance and repairs.
The proliferation of cheap flights to many of France’s regional airports means a trip to the Mediterranean coast from the UK can cost less than £150 for a family, and takes less than two hours travelling time.
The Forrester family, owners at Le Bois Dormant holiday parc in the Vendée, say: “Owning our holiday home is perfect, we get a lifestyle free from worries. The parc is one big happy family — our French friends say ‘hello’, British owners say ‘bonjour’.”
The Boggett family, who own a holiday home at Domaine de Kerlann in Brittany, add: “It’s easy to pick up a budget flight and we can turn up at anytime. There’s no DIY or maintenance, so we can spend our stay mixing with friends and enjoying the lifestyle.”
Simon Crabbe, siblu exclusif marketing and sales director says: “We’re delighted to surpass the 1000 British owners mark. Interest in our holiday parcs is booming because families want spacious homes and a place where they can relax and their children play safely.”
Siblu has introduced educational visits, with free accommodation for three days, for families who want to find out more about owning on a holiday parc in France. To book call 0800 960 512 or visit www.sibluexclusif.com.
