An area of outstanding beauty
Limousin, located to the west of the Massif Central, is an area of unspoilt rolling countryside and traditional agriculture. Heavy industry is virtually non-existent. There are a total of seven villages holding the coveted title of ‘Plus Beaux Villages de France’. There are only 42 inhabitants for every square kilometre, which is very sparsely populated when compared to the rest of France (and even less so when compared to Southern England!)

A pleasant surprise
The region’s popularity with tourists and second homeowners has come as a surprise to many as it’s so far away from the coast. However, the deep forests and serene lakes are enough to lure anyone seeking a relaxing and picturesque place to stay.

Climate
The climate can be pleasant throughout the year, though it is not as reliable as, for example, the south of France. The temperature here in the winter can drop to -10 degrees C, with snow and ice on the ground. The area is also prone to very heavy thunderstorms, especially in the summer, when temperatures can rise to 40 degrees C, though summer temperatures can also be similar to temperatures in the UK.

Easy access
The easiest route to the Limousin region from the UK is to fly into Limoges. Alternatively, the fast and efficient TGV train service will take you directly to the area from Paris.

 

A wide choice of properties at low prices
The other major attraction of Limousin are, of course, the extremely affordable house prices. The properties here are both diverse and full of character. You should have no problem finding properties with large gardens or areas of land.

Gaining recognition as a property hotspot
In the past, foreign buyers have not found the Limousin area particularly convenient. However, the decline in agriculture and the rise in budget airlines have contributed to its transformation into one of the most ideal places to buy in France. Recently, Channel Four’s ‘A place in the Sun’ has named it the 5th best place to buy abroad due to its “beautiful scenery and quiet farming villages as yet relatively undiscovered”. Prices are also very reasonable.
