COUNTRY LIVING
Though largely an inland department, Eure
off ers a rural lifestyle in glorious countryside.
It has long lured artists to capture its beauty
on canvas, such as Monet, who lived in the
village of Giverny. And it off ers easy access to
the beaches of Normandy, Rouen, and the everpopular Honfl
eur. Local agent Carl Beaudoin
says, "Eure off ers a real escape from city life
- you feel it immediately when you arrive, it
is such a tranquil area. 78% of the villages or
hamlets have a population of less than 1000.
Even the capital of the department and its
biggest town Évreux has less than 50,000
inhabitants."
"It's an aff ordable escape to the country
here, and especially popular with Parisians
as Eure is just 1 hour 30 minutes from Paris
by train or car making it an easy weekend
getaway."
Average property prices are around
€238,000, and there's a good stock of typically
Norman-style properties, including halftimbered
style houses.EureNormandy
