I
LIVE IN THE LUBERON, "THE
pearl of Provence". It is the
region where I spent much
of my childhood. It is the
prettiest and most welcoming part
of France, with a climate
to match.
This lovely area is part of
the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence
and has spectacular mountains,
breathtaking fields of lavender,
colourful provençal markets
and an exceptional mediterranean climate.
I used to work in
the tourist industry and trust me
when I say that this is a special
area and the perfect place to
buy property. One of the joys of
the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence is
that it is still relatively undiscovered
by anyone other than us locals. There
were well over 3,500
sales to non-resident buyers in
PACA last year and just 1% were
in this region, the bulk being in
the Alpes Maritimes (63%) and
the Var (22%). The budgets of
international buyers tend to be
lower here too - averaging out
around €232,000, compared to
PACA offers the very best that France has to offer.
Clear blue skies, wonderful food & drink and
properties that will melt your heart
PROVENCE
Alpes Côte d'Azur
€504,000 across the region as
a whole. My personal portfolio of
listings reflects this and
you'd be surprised at the variety
of property available without
breaking the bank!
There are six departments in
the region, three of these touch
the mediterranean; Alpes-Maritimes, Bouches-de-Rhone
and
Var, and, three are inland; Vaucluse,
Hautes Alpes and Alpesde-Haute-Provence.
You can probably
tell by their names that each
has a very different landscape
and they all have their own particular feel
and traditions.
Leggett has around 30
agents spread across PACA, covering all
of the popular areas
including world renowned resorts such
as Nice, Cannes and
St. Tropez. We have over 1,100
