Buying Property in Aquitaine
Where to buy property in Aquitaine
Stretching from the Dordogne down to the Pyrenees in the southwest of France, the region of Aquitaine covers a varied terrain – and prices for property for sale in Aquitaine vary accordingly. Dordogne’s lush landscape of forests, fields, rivers and lakes still harbours a few bargains, though renovation opportunities are limited. It has been attracting UK property buyers for many years.
Lot-et-Garonne already attracts many affluent young French property buyers; halfway between Bordeaux and Toulouse, the plum-growing area around Agen is well-placed for those looking for a getaway from the city, set in lovely countryside and within easy reach of the sea. Around Bordeaux are the vineyards of the world’s largest wine-producing region and some renowned coastal towns – check out Arcachon for its oysters or a host of beach resorts such as Cap-Ferret.
The département of Landes has the endless sandy beach of the Côte d’Argent (Silver Coast) and a lush hinterland of pine forests and lakes. The spa town of Dax dates back to Roman times.
Pyrenées-Atlantiques slopes gently to the mountains and the border with Spain and offers sea and skiing, a mild climate and great affordable properties. The fashionable beach resorts such as Bayonne and surfers’ paradise Biarritz have some of the most expensive property in the region, but inland towards Pau, the Basque country has country properties at very reasonable prices.
