CARCASSONNE AND TOULOUSE PROPERTY

Carcassonne and Toulouse are among the most sought after cities in the South of France for luxury South of France property.

The romantic setting of the villages has lured many investors interested in luxury Carcassonne property and Toulouse property. Carcassonne situated in the Languedoc region in the South of France is teeming with atmosphere and history.

The spectacular walled town is one of Frances most famous national monuments and as of 1997, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.  Originally a Roman settlement, then a medieval walled tow, Carcassonne was built between the 12th and 14th centuries and restored in the 19th century.  

It is the only fortified town in Europe still inhabited. Carcassonne is separated into two towns: the walled Cité de Carcassonne on its hill, and below, over the River Aude, the Bastide Saint Louis or Ville Basse. 

The Cite boasts restaurants and chic and traditional stores scattered among a wealth of winding cobbled streets, turrets and towers.  Whereas the Ville Bass offers all the charms of a French country town, boasting a charming market square, eighteenth century fountains in a more tranquil setting. On a clear day, there are views of the Pyrenees.

Located between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Coast in the South of France, Toulouse is France's fourth biggest city.  Toulouse also rightfully earned its title, "Ville Rose" or "Pink City" due to the reflections of light against the pink Toulouse brick which confers an atmosphere on the city that is at once gentle and warm.

2,000 years of history have left the city scattered with a first-rate heritage that is representative of the Southern French style at various moments in history.

The Vieux Quartiers is particularly charming with its Renaissance palaces, narrow alleyways, cafes, oyster bars and squares.
Toulouse is the capital of good life, a city of students, and a centre of cutting-edge European technology with a rich and diverse culture, enviable weather and a taste for celebrations and fine food which understandably is attracting a growing number of new inhabitants.
