Wonderful rural holiday rental properties hidden in fabulous but lesser known parts of France.
This time, the Languedoc-Roussillon in the South of France, recently renamed Occitanie.
Millions of visitors come to France for their summer holiday every year and often visit the most famous and popular tourist areas.
If you venture off the beaten track, however, you will be rewarded with beautiful surroundings, charming unspoilt villages and uncrowded country roads. You will get more property for your money, some with acres of land for less than you would pay for a small villa in a popular resort.
Some of the best rental properties are hidden away in beautiful, lesser known parts of France. Here we look at some hidden gems in the
Languedoc-Roussillon, or
Occitanie region of France...
