Clé France

Just updating the Cle France Office calendar and thought this was useful information for those booking and planning property viewings in France.

If you are planning a viewing trip to view some of the super property we have for sale in France then these dates could help you plan, even if they give you the days to avoid as offices and shops will be closed.

Remember - most Estate agents don't work Sundays and depending on the region of France Saturdays get booked up very quickly so you will need to give us more notice than you would for a weekday, which will be easier to plan for at shorter notice.
