Buying Properties In Provence And Guide To Provence
Provence is the chic area of France on the Med Coast. There is a seaside bit (the Côte d’Azur,) a marshy bit (the Camargue) and a hilly bit (the Alps.) The Cote d’Azur is the most expensive area for property but inland apart from the Luberon property prices are cheaper. For more about: Provence Properties
Anyone with any doubts about buying Provence property for sale need only look to the abundance of activities and entertainment on offer both in the major cities and rural areas.
A light hearted look at Provence’s history:
Marseille is France’s second city and joins ‘New York, New York’ and ‘I Left my Heart in San Francisco’ in having a song named after it. Actually La Marseillaise was written by a citizen of Strasbourg and sung in Paris by revolutionaries from Marseille who’d heard it sung there by a man from Montpellier. So the title of France’s national anthem just means ‘That song those blokes from Marseilles sing.’
Our favourite areas: All the way down to the south east corner of France along the Mediterranean, and adjacent to the Italian border, are the Maritimes Alps and the world renowned coastal strip of the Côte d’Azur. What makes this departement so beautiful is its rugged coastline with the Alps cascading in the blue sea. At certain times of the year you have the difficult choice of deciding whether to ski or to swim! The slopes and the sea are just an hour apart by car. The sun is shining for 320 days a year.
