 | | | French property for sale in Herault (34), France by the French estate agents, Leggett Immobilier | About Herault, France
Herault, department number 34, is located in the South of France on the Mediterranean coast and has a fantastic year round climate. It is famous for its full-bodied red wines and for its oyster beds along the coast in the Bassin de Thau.
Montpellier is the capital of both the Hérault department and the Languedoc-Roussillon region, and is the driving force behind the regional economy with high tech industries in Agropolis and Euromedecine. The area has seen a dramatic transformation during the last 50 years. The rise of a strong left of centre local government has left a legacy of good housing, pedestrianisation of town centres and a public transportation network that is second to none.
Béziers is further to the south, renowned for its ancient bridge. It has a population of 70,000 and is the unofficial capital of the largest wine-producing region in France, with vineywards dominating much of the local landscape.
Elsewhere, the town of Sete is the most important fishing port on the French Mediterranean coast and Le Cap d'Agde is the largest purpose built tourist resort in the whole of Europe. It can accommodate up to 100,000 tourists at any one time. Nearby is Saint-Guilhem-le-Desert, one of France's most beautiful villages.
Flying into Herault couldn't be easier. There is an international airport in Montpellier and a smaller one in Béziers, with mainly flights from Paris. Although Ryanair now has a service from Bristol to Béziers three times a week. Montpellier has regular flights to and from the UK with Ryanair, GB Airways and British Airways. The fast and comfortable TGV train service also runs through to Montpellier.
In terms of french property, Montpellier is the most expensive city in the Languedoc-Roussillon and has experienced a 25 percent increase in prices over the last five years. Outside Montpellier, the trend remains similar, as the Hérault is an increasingly popular place in which to own property - but in the rural villages and hamlets further inland, there are still bargain french properties to be found. |
