We sell properties in 2 main regions of France. The Allier 03 which is part of the Auvergne,  and the Hérault 34 which is part of the Languedoc-Roussillon. We have a few properties in the Cher18 (Centre) and the Nievre 58 (Burgundy). You will find these with the Auvergne properties. We also have few exclusive properties in the Loire Valley and you will find these in a separate section - France, Loire Valley.

At the cheaper end of the market the properties in the Hérault consist mainly of terraced village houses with perhaps a small terrace, courtyard or balcony but rarely a garden.  This is because of the geography and history of the region which dictated that villages were built on the top of hills and were often fortified.  To get a decent size garden and a house outside a village you need to look at newer villas or have a budget of 4-500,000€.  Having said that, it is still possible to buy a well renovated village house for around 100,000€

The Allier is quite different. Even village and town houses normally have a decent size garden with a vegetable plot, and outside the villages  most houses were at one time subsistence farms with attached or separate barns and have between 1000m2 and an acre of land, sometimes more. We also have properties with substantial amounts of land, and outbuildings, suitable for keeping horses, etc., at prices few people can afford in the UK.

You can view the houses we have for sale in each of these regions by clicking on the Auvergne or the Languedoc. If you don't find the right property on the website please let us know what you are looking for.  We may well have something just right for you that has not yet been uploaded.

Good luck with your search.
