Foreign Intrigue Fridays: Languedoc-Roussillon or Bust!

We're baaaack! In France, that is, for another tempting bargain, this time in the southernmost Languedoc-Roussillon region, which borders Provence, Spain and the Mediterranean. We also have it on good authority that this is where a lot of actual French folks prefer to summer, as it's far more affordable and less crowded than some of those neighbouring locations.

Priced at $270K, this fully reno'd 1400 square foot 2 bed/1.5 bath stone home is conveniently located in the tiny village of Moussan, home to 9th century Chapel Saint-Laurent. We're loving the large living room fireplace, beamed ceilings, modern kitchen, small courtyard and two sunny terraces.

And with so much to see and do nearby, you'll never be bored: the sea is less than a half hour's drive and the surrounding towns are chock full of historic churches, castles, even a section of the famed Canal du Midi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. J'adore!

You will, too—see more here.
