Victoria Molyneaux-Beale writes for us from the South of France about Gruissan: Our region, the sunniest in France (with approximately 300 days of sun per year) is in the Languedoc area of South West France on the Mediterranean coastline. The ease of access, with several local and international airports and extensive motorway network, means that this area is one of the most popular in which to buy property in France.
We are based in Gruissan, which is located on the coast between Perpignan and Beziers. Famous for it’s long sandy beaches and traditional chalets on stilts; there are lots of animations all year round and Narbonne is only ten minutes away with more shops, markets and the famous Canal de Robine that passes through the centre of this bustling Mediterranean town.
Gruissan itself now boasts a brand new swimming pool, balneo spa complex and hypermarket, but also continues to offer the charm of a traditional French fishing town, with it’s port, commerces, restaurants and old village with a market three times a week and over 2000 years of history!
People come to see the Barberousse tower (built in 1246) and the Rennes le Chateau church, perched high above the town in the beautiful pine filled forests that line the hills beyond. This area is also well known for it’s water-sports; jet skiing, wind-surfing, kite-surfing and there are many other activities available to try such as go-karting, horse riding, buggy and bicycle hire, tennis and fishing.
Further inland, you will be able to explore the medieval town of Carcassone; with it’s walled city, carnivals, restaurants and unique culture.
All this making it a great area to live all year round or simply to come to for holidays. We are also only one and a half hours away from the nearest ski resort, making simultaneous sea and mountain living a possibility!
The Languedoc Roussillon region is waiting for you to come and take advantage of the low cost of living, endless sunshine, wonderful gastronomy and it’s captivating way of life!
Captivated by the Gruissan area? Take a look at Victoria’s properties in Gruissan. Victoria has a great portfolio of properties across the Languedoc-Roussillon.
Short Gruissan video with French titles / commentary but showing some lovely panoramic views of Gruissan from the Meditierranean sea.
The video gives you a contrast between the rugged landscapes and serene gently rolling landscapes – no wonder this region is a firm favourite.
