The Bouches-du-Rhône is a firm favourite with French and international property buyers. From grand apartments and mansions in the cosmopolitan city of Aix-en-Provence, to stone farmhouses and villas set amongst the gentle rolling hills, olive groves and vineyards of the surrounding countryside. The iconic Montagne Sainte-Victoire can be seen across the area and inspired countless works by the painter Paul Cézanne.
The department also boasts a stunning Mediterranean coastline. The Calanques National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with dramatic cliffs and turquoise waters is ideal for hiking, rock climbing, and sailing. To the west of the department is the Camargue with its vast wild wetlands, flamingos and wild horses.
Aix’s streets are lined with elegant cafes and boutiques and the town hosts numerous cultural events throughout the year, including the Festival d’Aix, an international opera festival, and the Rencontres du 9e Art, a well-known comic art festival. The city’s rich cultural life, combined with its proximity to both the Mediterranean and the countryside, makes it a prime location for property buyers. The city also has TGV connections to Paris and easy access to Marseille-Provence Airport.
