Frequently Asked Questions About Avignon & North Provence
There’s a lot to do in Avignon and north provence, but the lifestyle in these areas is more laidback than you’ll find somewhere like Paris. Yes, you have the city of Avignon and the famous wine centre of the Rhone, but the South of France is known for relaxed luxury.
With plenty of sunshine every year and olive orchards taking up a good portion of the landscape in Avignon, you’ll be tempted to pull out your camera or easel to capture the scenery. And the Rhône wine region is one of the world’s best, boasting the notable Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The Découvertes en Vallée du Rhone wine fair also attracts winemakers from around the globe.
What are the most popular types of property in Avignon and North Provence?
Vineyard property is especially popular in Avignon and North Provence, and your vineyard can include multiple hectares of vines, a main house with luxury amenities, and outbuildings for additional workspace or guest accommodations. This allows buyers to tend to vines as a hobby or to create a substantial wine business.
For buyers who aren’t interested in operating a vineyard, there are gorgeous multi-bedroom villas available that are nestled in the countryside and surrounded by olive trees and other local flora.
There are also castles set on sprawling estates available in this region, offering an exceptional setting for a large family home or to set up a tourism business.

Houses and villas will cost less than vineyard property, though there’s a broad range of pricing. For example, some villas in the Avignon and North Provence region are approximately €1,000 to €2,600 per square metre, while others are priced higher at €4,200 to upwards of €5,600 per square metre.

Where are the best locations to buy property in Avignon and North Provence?
Some of the best places to live in the Avignon and North Provence area include Gigondas, Mormoiron, Nyons, Rasteau, Sarrians, and Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux.
The small hilltop village of Gigondas is famous for its wine production, and a dedicated volunteer association ensures that buildings are carefully repaired and restored. There’s also a medieval castle and church with excellent views.
Mormoiron, set in the Mont Ventoux foothills, is a lovely rural village that’s known for cherry, olive oil and wine production. Though small, this is an excellent destination for outdoor adventurers thanks to the area’s natural lake, treetop excursions, and zip-lining.
The town of Nyons is just north of Provence, and it’s best known as one of Europe’s predominant olive-growing regions. It’s also beloved for its phenomenal climate, with mild winters, hot summers and plenty of sunshine year-round.
The petite commune of Rasteau can be traversed by foot in about one hour, and there are also cycling routes and mountain biking trails available. Though small, this area is a popular place to visit thanks to its lavender fields.
Sarrians is one of the area’s leading wine-growing villages, with more than 14 estates and vineyards that produce wines. There’s also a Sunday market to visit each week, plus seasonal harvest markets during the fall.
While many surrounding towns and villages are known for their wine, Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux is famous for its black truffles, which you can buy at markets or shops throughout the year. The Saint-Marcel cave is also a big draw, boasting cathedral ceilings and underground rivers.
What is the process for purchasing a property in France for foreign buyers? Are there any restrictions?
Though plenty of expats make their home in Avignon and North Provence, the buying process can be different from what you’re used to and confusing to navigate. Here’s what to expect:
- Once you find a property you’d like to buy, ideally with the help of an experienced property agent, you’ll make a formal offer in writing to the owner.
- If the owner accepts your offer, both parties will sign the Compromis de Vente. This is a legal document that includes the current details of the property and the sale. However, this is not the official deed, and the details won’t be finalized until the end of the process.
- Around this time, you’ll pay the deposit, which is typically 5% to 10% of the purchase price.
- Next, there’s a 10-day cooling-off period. This is mandatory, and it allows the buyer to change their mind without losing their deposit.
- Once the cooling-off period ends, the conveyancing process begins and lasts approximately 10 to 12 weeks. This process will be arranged by the notaire, and it involves having the property inspected and preparing documents for the sale.
- The notaire will draw up the deed, called the Acte de Vente, and both parties will sign it. You’ll also make the final payment at this time, and the home will be yours!
Though you can try to navigate the property-buying process alone, it’s smart to have a property agent by your side. Not only will they help you find a property that meets your needs, but they’ll also be able to explain each step of the process.
Also, consider hiring a translator if you’re not fluent in French and working with a financial advisor to ensure you get the best exchange rates.
