Our Regions

Gard-Provence

Say South of France and Provence is what most readily comes to mind. With typically southern summers and mild winters this is the perfect escape from northern european weather.  These warm seasons bring air loaded with the scent of maritime pines, lavender and wild herbs. There is a wealth of choice of luxurious property, both ancient and modern, set against a backdrop of hilltop villages, vineyards and countryside that inspired some of the most talented painters.

Aquitaine

If you want variety, Aquitaine is possibly the place for you. The largest administrative region in France, covering pretty much the whole of the south west corner. It has Atlantic coastal towns and seemingly endless pine forests to the west, the stunning backdrop of the Pyrénées in the south, vineyards (both wine and cognac) in the centre and north, lush pastures and agricultural landscapes in the north east and the most stunning architecture, valleys and villages from the centre towards the east.

Languedoc-Roussillon

From Provence to the Pyrénées, the sun-baked region, often shortened to simply Languedoc, is home to wine, Roman history, Cathar castles and some rather fine beaches. This area produces around 30% of France’s wine output with some very agreeable rosés amongst them. 

This western stretch of the mediterranean features long sandy beaches, charming fishing ports and a sprinkling of exotic flamingoes!

Midi-Pyrénées

Stretching from the vibrant Toulouse area down to the Pyrénées and the Spanish border, this region is one of the most varied, offering a vast choice of property styles and surroundings.  The impressive rivers of the north and east of the region, the mountain backdrop of the south and the welcoming open vistas of the Gers in the west - it really does have a little of everything.

Limousin

Stunningly green and beautiful, the Limousin is cattle country and made up of three departments, the Correze, the Creuse and Haute Vienne. This area, to the west of the Massif Central, offers some of the best year round grazing making it a magnet for equestrians.  Rolling hills, woodlands and a low population density combine for a most rural lifestyle. Yet with both Limoges and Poitiers airports close at hand this is a superbly accessible area.

Poitou-Charentes

From the beaches of the Charente-Maritime through the Charente and Deux-Sevres to the lush green of the Vienne, Poitou-Charentes has something for everyone.  Coastal towns with some of the highest number of sunshine days per year, Cognac and goat’s cheeses (what a combo!) and fine properties set in pretty and unspoilt countryside.   And the value for money here has to be seen to be believed!

Testimonials

    Testimonial by Andrew Cotton

    Having decided to go ahead with our plan to buy an investment property in France, we initially tracked the market across a number of websites and across a wide area covering the Dordogne and the Lot regions. It quickly became clear that the responses we received from the Beaux Villages team were the most helpful and, based on some discussions about what we were looking for, we were able to put an initial viewing trip together. Based on this viewing trip, we narrowed the geographic area of our search and Beaux Villages became the leading agent we spoke to, including arranging some visits to see properties that were not exclusively listed with them, which made the viewing trips easy to arrange and manage. After a second viewing trip, we found our dream property, albeit at a price which was a little over our budget. At this point, the Beaux Villages team helped us navigate the process of understanding what the different stages of the offer and purchasing process would be, what the fees for each aspect would be and allowed us to put together an offer which was rejected initially, but some months later secured us a property we are really pleased, and sometimes a little amazed, to now own. Without the input of Judith Whitlow [, and her husband Kevin,] we would have not had the confidence to navigate the process successfully. Their input, from the initial offer all the way through to the couple of weeks after our purchase went through (when dealing with some of the issues which arise when buying a property abroad), was clear, pragmatic and incredibly helpful. Based on their experience having lived in France for some time and the clarification they could therefore offer on issues which were sometimes difficult to understand and assess, we felt very comfortable making decisions about what is a very significant investment for us. I warmly recommend Judith to anyone considering purchasing a property in France – without them, we would have had a much more difficult time getting to completion.
