The centre of the Haute Vienne Region is the town of Limoges

If you are thinking of buying a property in France then you could do a lot worse then buying one in the beautiful town of Limoges in the heart of the Haute Vienne Province of France, says Dave of www.hauteviennehideaways.com. The town has an overall population of about 150,000 which includes a large number of students.

This region used to be pretty remote but now thanks to the City's airport the whole of the Haute Vienne and the entire Limousin region is now very much reachable by budget airlines. Budget airlines fly into Limoges from Liverpool, East Midlands, and Stanstead and we believe a Luton service may be commencing operations shortly. Once in the city maximum travelling time is only 45minutes to any part of the province.

The influx of new visitors and tourists has had a booming effect on the economy of the town. There are a wide selection of restaurants and bars and business is booming for the traditional porcelain shops.

If you are thinking of buying property in the town please be aware that prices for Limoges property are more expensive than the rest of the Haute Vienne Region. Small towns and villages such as Le Dorat, Bellac, and Saint-Junien maybe better options if you are interested in a more sleepy way of life as typically, those that buy in the region are looking for a quiet life. The region is popular with Britains looking for retirement homes. However, there are really a mixture of people coming to the region from youngsters looking to get onto the career ladder to people just about to retire.

There is some interesting tit bit of information if you are interested in 'working from home' ,as Limoges is tipped to become a 'cyber centre' and the communications infrastrucure will be 21st century.

The region is ideal for country pursuits as there are plenty of rivers and streams, rich countryside, scenic walks, nature watching and days can be spent exploring chateaux, churches and historic medieval architecture.

A word of warning though as winter can be very quiet in the region, so the region may only suit some people looking for summer holiday homes.
