Spotlight on the Languedoc

It’s never been easier to get to the Languedoc.  Whether you fly into one of the region’s 5 airports, drive the car down over the Milhau Aqueduct, or take the 4-hour high speed train from Paris, you’ll discover why this area has become a French property hotspot over the last 10 years. 

The region has much to offer property hunters, both those looking for a place in the sun for their holidays, and those looking to start a new life in the sunny south of France.  As well as the popular cities and towns such as Montpellier, Béziers, Narbonne and Pézenas, the area offers glorious vine-covered countryside dotted with medieval villages, perfect for those looking for their own slice of charming rural France.

For the holiday makers, once you recover from the beauty of the landscape and history-filled villages, there are plenty of other activities to be getting on with, like laying on one of the long stretches of sandy Mediterranean beaches, kayaking down the river Orb, hiking in the beautiful regional parks, or slowly turning into a wine connoisseur as you make your way from one wine domain to another. 

And for those who are lucky enough to call this region their new ‘home’, they’ll be able to take advantage year round of the mild climate and Mediterranean way of life, where things move a little bit slower, giving them plenty of time to enjoy the good things in life.

While it’s no longer possible to find an absolute steal in the region, there are still many bargains to be had, and plenty of properties offering real investment potential.  From properties in need of renovation starting at around 60,000 euros, to stunning Mediterranean-style villas with pools and built-in rental potential starting at around 300,000 euros, there real is something for everyone.

Perfect for family holidays, and offering so many advantages to retirees and people looking to start a new life in France, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more attractive and enticing region as the Languedoc-Roussillon.  There is enough going on in the Languedoc to keep you coming back year after year, and for those that make the decision to live here permanently, you won’t be disappointed with your choice.  Now that the region is so easy to get to, what are you waiting for?  Now’s the time to discover the Languedoc and find your own maison dans le soleil!
