Discover France - A Geographical Tour With Real Estate in Mind

Luxurious in the movies with romantic tales, delectable food and drink, and majestic beaches, Southern France is truly a place to satisfy any palate. Geographically le Midi is that of the regions of France that border the Atlantic Ocean, south of Gironde, Spain, the Mediterranean Sea, Italy and Switzerland.

Those searching for an escape filled with culture, beauty and the finest experiences life can offer, will find solace in purchasing real estate in one of Southern France's regions. Unaffected by the recessions that unfortunately plague the world, Southern France is untouched due to wealthy or corporate international clients that chose to buy real estate in this region.

Within this geographical gem, a treasure of joy is waiting to emerge from the regions of:

Aquitaine
Pine forests frame sandy beaches with flowing vineyards that produce the world's most famous wines. Mouth-watering truffles, fish, shellfish and confections that is true to Basque traditions.

Midi-Pyrenees
Scenically breath-taking with stories of old, lush rolling hills, medieval homes, cathedrals and Armagnac brandy, a definite pilgrimage center.

Languedoc-Roussilon
Popular seaside resorts enticing to the yacht-man, and attractive wintertime activities, olive oil and garlic heavy cuisine enjoyed in neighborhoods of colorful façade.

Provence-Alpes-Cote d' Azur
Nice, Cannes, St.-Tropez, the French Rivera, it is well-known, and bursting with ancient history, but recognized as a wealthy paradise of skiing, sun-bathing, restaurants, fabulous shopping, a frame for cinema and truly the region of the "jet set".

Rhone-Alpes
Geographically lovely with mountain villages, famous for the Olympic Games, Mt. Blanc, the highest point in Europe and of course alpine skiing.

Auvergne
Rocky volcanic Massif Central Mountain range with open lush spaces proves to be the best hiking in France along with quaint spa towns and Romanesque churches. This is a region for the true naturist.

Paris is another location that has been left virtually untouched by the world's economic woes. The city of lights is a metropolitan hub that offers culture of the most eloquent kind, cafes, cuisine choices for every taste and a fantastic night-life. Purchasing an apartment in Paris might suit your desires for adventure in a big city environment.

Every culture, walk of life, can find their place in Southern France or Paris. With an abundance of possibilities, one can find their home-away-from-home, or simply a unique living space called home.
