Think Provence, and picture sun-drenched landscapes, charming villages and the gorgeous mediterranean coastline! It’s not hard to see why this part of France is a magnet for French and international property buyers.

The landscape varies from the mountains of the alps to the pine-covered hillsides and olive groves of the countryside. The Luberon and the Alpilles areas are quintessentially Provençal, with stone farmhouses, soft rolling hills, lavender fields, and delightful villages such as Gordes, Roussillon and Saint-Rémy.

The South of France is also world-famous for its soft white sand beaches and superstar towns such as Cannes, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Nice and St Tropez. Homes in these hotspots often come with equally dazzling price tags but there are still more affordable options if you know where to look.

Aix-en-Provence, where our team has their agency, is the historic regional capital and a cultural powerhouse. The streets are lined with elegant cafes and shops. Marseille-Provence Airport is just a short drive away.
