With one of the sunniest climates in France, the Mediterranean towns and villages of Occitanie, formerly known as the Languedoc-Roussillon region, have become the place to buy French property.

Excellent transport links, vast stretches of sunny beaches, endless vineyards and a buoyant property market all combine to make this area an increasingly sought after destination, both for those looking to re-locate and for those who are looking for a holiday home in the sun.

Montpellier in Hérault, one of the most dynamic cities in France is only an hour away, and the historic city of Carcassonne, the Roman ruins in Nîmes and Arles, and the majestic landscape of the Pyrénées are all within easy reach.

The authenticity of the small villages that are scattered around the vineyards a half-hour’s drive from the coast give the Hérault and Aude regions the charm and character the world has come to associate with the south of France.

If you are in search of La Belle France, the ‘real’ France, then Occitanie is the region for you!
