For buying and selling property in Cozes
The historic little town of Cozes is found in the west of France, in the department known as the Charente-Maritime. It lies in a pretty setting on the Gironde estuary, in a landscape characterised by golden fields of wheat and sunflowers, and in a region known for its high sunshine record and gentle climate. Cozes is an attractive and traditional market town with pretty stone village houses dating back to the 14th century, and a lovely 12th century village church.
However much you love tradition, peace, and quiet, its good to know that you can access all the things you need for a comfortable modern lifestyle too! Cozes is well equipped to please on all scores here, as the town combines the traditional feel and charm of its old streets, houses and market with an abundance of modern services such as a supermarket, a dry cleaning service, fishmongers, boulangeries and a tourist office to help you find your way around. There are even a couple of bars too, where the local tipples of cognac and pineau are always available!
The Charente-Maritime landscapes are distinctive and gentle. If you love wide open spaces, brilliant golden sunflowers and softly waving fields of wheat, then this is the place for you. With an enviable sunshine record second only to that of the south of France, the Charente-Maritime provides a wonderful blend of countryside and seaside pleasures.
The seaside resort of Royan is close by for those who enjoy watersports, and certainly it is hard to think of a water or seaside sport which can't be found here. Closer to Cozes you can find tennis, mini golf, and a swimming pool, while there is a good full sized golf course at Saintes. Days out from Cozes can take you north to La Rochelle, or to the Ile d'Oloron, or perhaps south to Bordeaux for a wine tasting session to remember!
There are plenty of easy ways to reach Cozes from the UK. The airports of Bordeaux and La Rochelle are both nearby, with Poitiers and Bergerac also accessible. Bordeaux is served by British Airways, flybe, bmibaby, Aer Lingus and easyJet; La Rochelle by Ryanair, flybe and easyJet; Poitiers by Ryanair; and Bergerac by flybe and Ryanair. The TGV stops at Angoulême, and this means that rail travel is another viable option for travelling to Cozes from the UK.
Property in the Charente-Maritime in general is reasonably priced and represents good value for money. Prices are rising, however, as interest in the area increases steadily, particularly from the foreign markets. There is plenty of variety in the types of property available in and around Cozes, with some lovely old character properties on the market at the time of writing. If you are looking for that renovation project then Cozes could be a good place to begin the search.
