Properties in South of France: Provence Occitane
This diverse and authentic region is the rising star of southern France, encompassing areas of outstanding natural beauty from the Camargue to the Cevennes and onwards to the Pyrenees, bordered to the south by vast stretches of unspoilt and uncrowded sandy beaches – a rare sight on the Mediterranean coastline.
