Investment Properties For Sale in Midi-Pyrénées, France

In the south-west, the Midi-Pyrenees, which lies between Aquitaine to the west and Languedoc-Roussillon to the east, is a large region with a size almost equivalent to Switzerland and Luxembourg put together. It has eight departements, each with its own strong character. Magnificent mountain scenery can be found both to the north and south of the region. The north east encompasses part of the Causses which is high plateau country. This is a land of plains dotted with hillocks, sandy stretches, moors and pine woods, desolate plateaux, and little valleys covered with impenetrable forests. The birds and small animals feed on the thyme and juniper growing wild in the chalky soil and as a result are hunted for their delicious and individual flavour.
