10 good reasons to buy in France

1. The south of France is a haven that continues to make property here popular with buyers.
2. The French government’s tight control of urban development means that property developments in Languedoc won’t one day lose their value due to over-building or the erosion of local culture.
3. The Languedoc region is booming, with more people moving there than any other region in France.
4. Property values, which are still low in comparison to Provence, are rising faster than any other French region.
5. Excellent roads – the A9 coastal motorway is being doubled in width, and the new A75 motorway means that there are now three major routes to the Languedoc region.
6. Accessibility – budget flights to the region continue to soar, with flights to Montpellier, Nimes, Carcassone, Perpignan, and soon, Beziers.
7. Excellent train links – the new TGV line from Barcelona will bring even more wealthy visitors and property investors from northern Spain.
8. Larger beaches coupled with access to the Pyrenees and Cevennes mountains, make Languedoc the perfect place to invest in a second home as it can be used in winter and summer. Many appreciate the ski + sea + sun combination and the fact that they can get all of this in Languedoc for less money than property on the Cote d’Azur.
9. Wine production – Languedoc is officially the world’s single largest wine producing region, and its wine makers constantly strive to improve the already excellent quality of their vintages.
10. New build property located in developments in Languedoc can easily be rented out as tourist numbers to the region continue to increase.
