Aquitaine Properties

Living in Aquitaine: A Guide for French Property Buyers
Where is Aquitaine?
Aquitaine is a historical region in the southwest of France, now part of the larger Nouvelle-Aquitaine administrative region. It borders the Atlantic Ocean and Spain, and includes well-known areas like Dordogne, Lot-et-Garonne, Gironde (home to Bordeaux), Landes, and the Pyrénées-Atlantiques.

Why is Aquitaine popular for property buyers?
Aquitaine is one of the most sought-after regions for international buyers due to its:
• Mild climate (oceanic in the west, slightly continental inland)
• Rich cultural heritage (medieval villages, vineyards, and castles)
• Access to the Atlantic coast and the Pyrenees mountains
• Excellent wine and cuisine, especially in Bordeaux and Dordogne
• Lower property prices than Provence or the Riviera, particularly in inland areas

Types of properties available in Aquitaine:
Buyers can find:
• Stone farmhouses with land in the Dordogne
• Modern villas along the Atlantic coast
• Châteaux and prestige properties near Bordeaux
• Renovation projects in rural villages
• Lock-up-and-leave homes ideal for holiday use

Who is buying in Aquitaine?
Aquitaine attracts:
• British, American and Dutch (amongst others) retirees
• Remote workers and digital nomads seeking peaceful, scenic environments
• Families relocating for lifestyle reasons, often choosing areas with international schools
• Property investors capitalizing on seasonal tourism

Can foreigners buy property in Aquitaine?
Yes. France places no restrictions on foreign property ownership. The process is straightforward, with assistance from a notaire (a French legal official). It typically takes 12 - 16 weeks from offer to completion.

Tips for buyers in Aquitaine:
1. Work with bilingual agents familiar with international buyers.
2. Consider transport links — Bordeaux and Biarritz have major airports and TGV lines.
3. Explore each sub-region — Dordogne offers peace and tradition; Landes is ideal for surfers and cyclists; Bordeaux is urban and vibrant.
