"Property guide to the Hautes-Pyrénées, a lesser-known department located in the southwest of France, in the Occitanie region. It sits more or less halfway between the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts, bordered by Spain in the South and the Gers department in the north. Known for its dramatic landscapes, charming villages, rich cultural heritage, and a variety of outdoor activities, Hautes-Pyrénées has become an increasingly popular place to live for both locals and expats. The region is a haven for nature lovers, sports enthusiasts, and those seeking a slower pace of life."
""I'm always struck by how spacious it feels here," says Yvonne Russell, who has lived in the region for 15 years and manages a team of estate agents for Leggett Immobilier. "I'm originally from Edinburgh, but now I live in a Gascon farmhouse with mountain views, just 90 minutes from the vibrant city of Toulouse. I just love the feeling of space and fresh air you get in the Hautes-Pyrénées, which is what attracted us in the first place together with the fact that properties are very affordable here.""
