The cost of buying fisheries or waterside property in France varies greatly from region to region.
Don't forget that France is the biggest country in western Europe covering over 550,000 km2 and property prices are driven by many factors (geography, climate, proximity to major cities, infrastructure).
The Notaires de France have an excellent website that allows you to see average house prices by region, department and even town - you can access the site at www.immoprix.com.
The website also shows price rises/falls over the last five years.
As an example, you will see that the average house price throughout the country (but excluding Paris) is €167,000 at the time of writing.
So, Brittany has slightly lower prices than average (at €158,000), lower Normandy is even better value at €140,900 and average prices in Limousin are a staggeringly low €115,700.
Of course these figures include many smaller renovation projects as well as first time buyer statistics and the cost of a working fishery with accommodation and family home will be much higher. Similarly prime riverside property will always attract a premium price.
They do however give you a good flavour as to how the regions compare pricewise and the site is a good place to begin researching your move to France.
