Planning to buy a second home in France? France has 20 nuclear power plants. Search in Google maps for French nuclear power reactors within a radius of 50, 100, 150, 200 or 250 kilometers of a given location. Click on the marker for a pop-up with the name, address and Wikipedia url of the power plant.
Should it come to an accident in a nuclear power plant and radioactivity escapes from the reactor, the government recommends evacuating the local area around the wrecked reactor. Everybody in a radius of 10 to 25 kilometers around the affected nuclear power plant should leave the area.
In an area of 100 kilometers of the accident, people are advised to stay in their homes and take iodine tablets if necessary. Agricultural land at a distance up to 100 kilometers from the nuclear power station should be covered - animals should remain in stables.
Not only the distance to the nuclear power plant accident is important. The weather plays an important role in such a case. The degree of contamination depends on wind speed, wind direction and rainfall.

French people are quickly satisfied on holiday. A simple apartment in a busy seaside resort, as close to the sea as possible and close to the evening
entertainment, is sufficient. Usually, the apartment is rented well in advance and preferably through a friend of a friend.
The more affluent French people from large cities often have their own holiday home in the campagne, which is only two months a year + Christmas and
Easter in use, but with the whole family at the same time.
