Did you know that despite the increase in French mortgage rates conditions remained very good for French real estate buyers in 2017?
According to this article in French on Empruntis French mortgage rates stayed below 2% for all periods combined (minimum rate and average rates excluding 30 years) and this supported French real estate purchases.
The total number of French real estate transactions reached a record of 986,000 sales!

In general, it appear the séjour or salon is the main living room close by the kitchen.
