One of the most popular regions of France for both the French and UK buyers for holiday homes and permanent moves, this area comprises the departements of Pyrenees Orientales, Aude, Herault, Gard and Lozere. Much of the region is close to the Mediterranean coast with its splendid beaches, marinas and renowned as one of the sunniest areas of France. Properties in the region range from coastal apartments and villas to houses and farmhouses further inland. There are a good selection of leaseback properties available giving an income and personal use and other developments that offer guaranteed rentals. It is an ideal area for investment as demand continues to grow due to multi-national companies moving into the larger towns such as Montpellier, bringing a work force in need of housing.
