With so many more people now choosing to buy homes in France, prices are rising and it is becoming more difficult to find locations in truly rural parts of the country. Eymet in the Dordogne is a beautiful, traditional town and is an ideal spot to look if you’re thinking of buying property in France. A Dordogne holiday home is a great investment as this is such a sought after region for people wanting to experience the slower pace of French life. However, the area is one of the most popular, and Dordogne property for sale at the moment is more expensive than five years ago.

Castillonnes is a fascinating medieval town in the south-west of France in the department of Lot-et-Garonne. This lies just north of the Dordogne in the region of Aquitaine. The pace of life in this area of great natural beauty is relaxed, and the climate warm and sunny for much of the year.

Everywhere you go within Lot-et-Garonne there are rolling hills, wild meadows, stunning valleys and towns, and villages steeped in history. If you’re thinking of investing in French property in a truly rural and peaceful location, this is a great place to start your search.
