Emma HORSFALL's selection of French property for sale

About my area

The Belleville Valley is nestled in the Three Valleys along with Meribel and Courchevel, which together make up the largest interlinked ski area in the world. The Belleville valley is a beautiful place to own a property whether as an investment, a permanent home or a ski pad for family and friends. The quality of life here is tremendous and each season is different with snowy landscapes and exceptional skiing throughout the winter, to the long sunny days and mountain activities during the summer, combined with calmer periods during spring and autumn where we can appreciate the valley’s natural beauty. The area offers possibilities for everyone from traditional ski chalets, luxury properties and barn renovations in the numerous charming villages such as St Martin de Belleville, to functional apartments and high-class residences in Val Thorens and Les Menuires. Not to forget the opportunities of purchasing land to build your very own chalet.

About me

I moved to the French Alps after graduating from university and I have no doubt that I made the right decision. With a Yorkshire father and a Breton mother, I am very lucky to have been brought up bilingual. I had often been curious to experience life in my mother’s home country, and although I live far from Brittany, I see definite similarities between the Breton sea folk and Savoyard mountain folk! I lived in Annecy for the first couple of years which was fantastic, but with my love of the mountains and snowboarding, I was quickly drawn to the Three Valleys. After working for Les Menuires and St Martin ski resorts for several years in promoting tourism, it has felt a natural transition to join the Leggett team. The Belleville Valley is simply a stunning and exciting place to live and I look forward to helping you find your dream property.
