ARLES - ST REMY DE PROVENCE: Set in gated grounds of 5 000 m2 full of olive trees sits this stone farmhouse of 230 m2 dating from the 1800s. It was named after the visit of one of Napoleon's trumpeters who took up residence in the house. The entrance under the pergola leads into the hallway. To the right is the double living room with working fireplace & exposed beams with French doors back out onto the terrace. Accessed off this room, but also with an external door, is the studio apartment with shower room and the sleeping area on a mezzanine level. Turning left out of the hall brings you into the dining room again with the beams exposed and on into the more modern fitted, equipped kitchen with separate external access. To the rear of the ground floor is an east-facing bedroom or office with fitted cupboards and distinctive doors out onto a small terrace area. There is a guest WC on the ground floor along with a room fully prepared but not fitted as a bathroom, a laundry/utility room and a cellar.
Up the stairs with its magnificent ceiling and oak floor, there is a pleasant sitting area. The main bedroom is 31 m2 and has fitted cupboards. There is a further bedroom and a family bathroom with separate WC.
Current planning regulations would allow the property to be increased in size by 10% up to a maximum of 250 m2. Part of the garden has also been designated for development of a house. The garden includes a good-sized pool, a garage of around 50 m2 and parking for 4/5 vehicles.
The village of Raphele Les Arles is 9 km from the historic town of Arles, 40 km from Nimes, 45 km from Avignon and half an hour from St Remy de Provence. The inland coast is only 20 minutes to the south. The nearest airports are Nimes at 20 minutes, Marseille Marignane and Avignon both at 45 minutes. The TGV is available at Avignon. The motorway network is accessible at junction 10 of the A54.

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.
