Languedoc Properties - Buying and Selling Properties in the Languedoc

Finding the best property websites in the south west of France

Languedoc - the newest property hotspot

The Languedoc borders Spain to its west, and Provence to its east in the sunny south of France. Recent reports show that the Languedoc is the newest property hotspot in France. It is attracting not just overseas buyers desperate to find some sunshine, but also home grown French, seeking holiday homes or a more Mediterranean life.

Property in the Languedoc is good value

Property in the Languedoc is often reasonably priced too, although this varies, with coastal properties being the most expensive. But the region still performs very well compared with neighbouring Catalan Spain and Provence.

Languedoc weather is a big attraction

The region is diverse and often spectacularly beautiful, and has one of the warmest and sunniest climates in France, with an estimated 300 days of sunshine per year. Out of a possible 365, that's not bad! Even in winter, the sun shines most days, and it is often warm enough to lunch out of doors in December.

Choose the location of your Languedoc property carefully

It's important to realise that the weather does vary around the region though. It isn't all Mediterranean. In fact, the mountainous areas have heavy snowfall in winter, so choose your location carefully when looking for property in the Languedoc. Parts of the region, notably the Aude, experience strong winds at certain times of year. It is generally hottest at the coast, coldest in the mountains and wettest in the plains. Sounds obvious, but a surprising number of buyers expect the south of France to be universally hot.

Languedoc property buyers have a huge choice

The Languedoc has an immense diversity of terrain. There are stretches of Mediterranean coast with seaside resorts and sandy beaches, plus charming fishing villages like Collioure and Sète. There are salt lagoons, acclaimed for their wildlife and shellfish, and then there are majestic mountains with ski resorts. And, in between, there are rolling cornfields, sunflowers, vineyards and hills. Add to this heady mix the cities of Montpellier, Perpignan, Carcassonne and Béziers, each with their own distinctive flavours and colours, and you can see that property buyers have a huge choice in the Languedoc.

Languedoc is easy to get to

Another reason for the popularity of the region is the ease of transport. Getting to the Languedoc from the UK couldn't be easier, with airports at Montpellier, Carcassonne, Béziers and Perpignan. All now have flights with budget airlines, so it's cheap too. The TGV also serves the region.

Languedoc is a property hotspot for many nationalities

So, it is easy to see why the Languedoc is a great property hotspot. We Brits can't get enough of it, and property continues to sell well to many other nationalities too. These include the Dutch, the Danes, the Americans and of course, the French themselves, who know a good region when they find one.
