Explore Nouvelle-Aquitaine
From Atlantic Coast to Rural France
Nouvelle-Aquitaine stretches from the Atlantic coast and the Pyrénées
to the vineyards, river valleys, farmland and wooded countryside of
inland south-west France. Its different areas offer very different
landscapes, property styles and ways of life.
Charente · Charente-Maritime · Deux-Sèvres · Vienne
Charentes and Poitou
An attractive combination of traditional stone houses, open farmland,
vineyards and accessible market towns. Buyers can find smallholdings,
equestrian properties and renovation projects, with coastal living
available towards La Rochelle and Charente-Maritime.
Dordogne · Lot-et-Garonne
Dordogne and the Garonne Valleys
Known for bastide towns, stone farmhouses, orchards, river valleys
and gently rolling countryside. This area is particularly popular
for homes with land, rural estates, gîte businesses, equestrian
properties and countryside renovation projects.
Gironde · Landes · Pyrénées-Atlantiques
Bordeaux, Landes and the Pyrénées
This varied area includes Bordeaux’s vineyard country, the forests
and open landscapes of Landes, Atlantic beaches and the foothills of
the Pyrénées. Property ranges from wine estates and country homes to
horse properties, farms and mountain-facing rural retreats.
Corrèze · Creuse · Haute-Vienne
Limousin Countryside
A peaceful landscape of lakes, woodland, pasture and traditional
villages. Limousin remains attractive to buyers looking for space,
tranquillity, barns, land and renovation potential away from the
busier coastal and city markets.
Nouvelle-Aquitaine covers approximately 84,100 km² and 12 departments.
Distances between its coast, cities, rural interior and mountain areas
can be substantial, so location and everyday accessibility deserve
careful consideration when choosing where to buy.
