300 sunny days a year.
The south of France is lucky enough to have 300 sunny days a year. You can even swim in the mediterranean sea all year around (although I would advice you to do so only half of the year).If you have never lived at this latitude you have to try it at least for a year in your live.

You havent seen what food is until you come to France.
There is a reason that French cuisine has been the subject of countless books, TV shows and movies. There is simply nothing like it! When looking at an area for a real estate. Grab a copy of a local kook book, nothing will give you a better insight into the culture of that area.

Wine country number 1. There is nothing in the world like French wine. In France you can get that 40 pound bottle for 1 pound directly from the farmer. Don’t hesitate to try out your limited French with the farmers. They will appreciate the gesture.

The Health care is like no other in S-Europe. People come from all over the world to get cured.

Stable housing prices.
Because of the slowness of the French real estate market, the bureaucracy and the reluctance of the french banking system for home loans, the prices are super stable compared to the rest of western Europe. I wouldn’t advice anyone used to banks in any other country to go into banking with a French banking institution. You can of course see what the French banks are willing to offer but keep in mind that things that your bank does for free in your country will probably not be offered and if they are offered they will come at a cost. Remember that there are costs at every step in the French banking system. Discover a bank in your home country or a nice expat bank in the more business friendly neighboring countries, most of them offer home packages for France.

Perfect base point for traveling Europe
From southern France you can travel to many of the most interesting places in S-Europe for a weekend at a low cost. Spain, Portugal, Italy, Slovenia and Croatia are just a car ride away! You can take a boat to Corsica or Sardinia for an extended weekend in paradise.

Relaxed attitude of France.
Experience and be a part of the world renounced relaxed S-France culture. Spend your night out in the warm evening in your garden with a loved one and a glass of top quality local wine.
