france

For many, France is the good life defined, offering some of the world’s most sought-after lifestyles… usually with the price tag to match. One exception is Occitanie, “the other South of France.” Here you can enjoy a rustic lifestyle in the French countryside without breaking the bank.

Occitanie boasts beautiful and romantic cities and towns, plus the best of rural living and the dramatic Mediterranean coast… From Europe’s largest nudist beach, skiing in the Pyrenees, canoeing and cycling, and UNESCO sites to the medieval Cathar citadel at Carcassonne, the Canal du Midi, fantastic markets, theater, and endless village festivals, opportunities for diversion here are endless.

But above all else, it’s the slow pace of life that draws people to this tranquil, peaceful part of France. Step off the gas pedal and into Occitanie with this Overseas Haven Report.
