This is the appeal of real estate in Southern France.
Real Estate in Southern France

This covers 2 large regions of France which run along the Mediterranean coast. At the Western end, bordered by the Pyrenees and Spain, we have the Languedoc-Roussillon region. Our favourite destination is Collioure. Picturesque as a Cornish fishing village with its port, small beach, restaurants, artists, and fabulous views.
To the East we have Provence (PACA). This region has been a popular location for the chic, rich and famous. Coastal prices are high and reflect the demand from Parisians, and foreign buyers. Inland prices drop significantly, and can be no more expensive than the Languedoc-Roussillon. Peter Mayle keeps the region in the public focus, and his bestsellers continue to promote the true “Provence”. So the Luberon and environs is also very expensive but probably a good investment!
Where to look? In Provence we prefer the inland areas such as Cotignac. Here you have Rural France and all its delights plus within easy drive of the coast. Across into the Languedoc-Roussillon, if you are looking for real France then head inland to Limoux or the wine villages to the North of Beziers such as Lamalou. Prices are low and there is a good selection.
