"It's been remarkable to see the explosion in popularity
(and property prices) in Bordeaux and it could well be
that La Rochelle is next. A couple of hours up the coast,
it is home to the newest university in France (which
Francesca went to) and mixes a youthful energy with a
chic and growing population. The balmy climate makes
it an ideal spot for either a holiday/permanent home
and the strong rental demand makes it perfect for investors."

and around La Rochelle
LEGGETT MAGAZINE THE SOUTH WEST
Découvrir...
Le Sud-Ouest
La Nouvelle-Aquitaine comprend désormais tous les
départements du Sud-Ouest de la France dont certains bien
connus de notre clientèle internationale
tels la Dordogne, la Charente ou la Creuse. La région
occupe une très grande partie de la côte atlantique,
de la Rochelle à la frontière espagnole, en passant par
Royan et Bordeaux. En plus de plages merveilleuses,
l'on y découvre quelques-uns des plus importants vignobles et vins de France.
Au cœur des terres, le prix de l'immobilier est remarquablement bas.
En effet, c'est dans le nord et l'est de
la région que se trouvent quelques-uns des prix les
plus abordables de France. A titre d'exemple, le prix
moyen d'une maison dans la Creuse est de 73 000 €,
de 95 000 € en Corrèze et de tout juste 119 600 € en
Dordogne.
Leggett Immobilier a un portefeuille de plus de 7500
propriétés en Nouvelle-Aquitaine allant de la petite
maison de 2 chambres à rénover, dans le Limousin,
commercialisée 10 000 € au château du 12e siècle
avec 500 hectares de terre, en Dordogne, à 15 millions d'euros
… Il y a ici de quoi satisfaire absolument
tous les budgets !
amongst the lowest in France.
For instance, the average property price
in Creuse is 73,000
euros, in Corrèze it is 95,000
euros and in the Dordogne it is
119,600 euros.
Leggett has around 7,500
listings within Nouvelle Aquitaine; ranging
from a two bed
house to renovate, priced at
10,000 euros in the Limousin,
to a 15 million euros, 12th century château with 500 hectares
in the Dordogne…..in other
words, we have something for
everyone.
If you don't know the area
I'd suggest you look along
some of the river valleys - the
Dordogne, Charente, Gironde
and Vienne are four that spring
to mind but there are many
more. Along these you will find
literally hundreds of pretty
market towns with a history
steeped in river commerce. For
example, if you visit the quay
side in Cognac you will be able
to join the American, Chinese
and other tourists on a trip in
one of the flat bottomed boats
(gabares) that were used to
transport cognac, salt and other
produce. Don't forget to stop at
Hennessy, Remy Martin or Courvoisier
for a guided tour and a
personal tasting session too.
Of course, you'll pay a premium if you
want to be on or
near the coast and it's vital that
you seek advice from an experienced
local agent who lives and
works in the area… that's where
we come in!
Anyway, enough from me,
I have my chickens, ducks and
garden to attend to - hope to
see you in my particular corner
of France soon.
