Location in France

The Bouches-du-Rhone department is located in the Southeast of the Provence-Cote-d'Azur region and has a population of just under 1.8 million. The mountainous North meet the urbanised South where the majority of this population is dispersed. Marseille is the largest town and also the departmental capital.
Marseille is France's second largest city, and is very cosmopolitan with a diverse mix of inhabitants. The majority immigrated to here from the Mediterranean basin, West Africa and Indochina. Recently, the town has been given rejuvenated thanks to the new TGV line to Paris, which is itself attracting Parisian investors and those looking to buy a holiday home or apartment in the area.
Further north, Aix-en-Provence is a city which could not be more different to the busy Marseille. It is an esteemed University town which once bestowed its teaching upon a young man named Nostradamus. It makes an ideal break from Marseille, although traffic here can be very busy in peak season. If you are spending time here in the summer, perhaps in a lovely apartment or holiday home, then it is a perfect place in which to learn the French language.
In the West of the department, where the Rhone River meets the Mediterranean Sea there is a vast land of marshes and ponds which is home to herons, cormorants and stunning pink flamingos. A number of rice plantations, amazingly, have also been established in this part of the department.
Travelling north we come to Arles, which dates back to the 6th century. In 123 BC the Romans took over and made it into a strategic town with a canal linking it to the Mediterranean Sea.
In terms of infrastructure, Marseille has an airport with regular flights to the UK and other destinations, or alternatively there are Nimes and Montpellier. The new TGV line which links Mareseille to Paris also makes life a lot easier.
The fantastic Mediterranean climate, sandy beaches and interesting history means that there is a thriving property market. Both Marseille and Aix-en-Provence have great potential for both living permanently, owning a holiday home or renting out.
