The extreme south-west area of France resides in the department of the Pyrenees Atlantiques in Aquitaine. Bordering Spain through the western end of the Pyrenees mountain range, the Pyrenees Atlantiques possesses some of the most varied scenery in Southern France. There are snowbound ski resorts atop the Pyrenees, grand towns and cities dotted around the foothills, as well as popular seaside resorts such as Biarritz along the Atlantic coast. All in all, the Pyrenees Atlantiques has something for everyone, whether they're on vacation or are looking for French property in the south of France.
Pau is the largest inland city in the region. It has an astounding architectural and cultural heritage that makes it popular with tourists. Its international airport also provides easy access to the eastern half - the Bearn side - of the Pyrenees Atlantiques, as well western parts of the Midi-Pyrenees. Biarritz on the Bay of Biscay too has an international airport. If you want to explore the western half - the Basque side - of the Pyrenees Atlantiques, then this is the airport to fly into.
With such a vast spectrum of landscapes, it is little surprise that Pyrenees Atlantiques property is many and varied. In Pau for instance you could buy a luxury 3-bed apartment in the city for less than 150,000 euros. In Biarritz, Pyrenees Atlantiques property buyers could find a luxury villa in France overlooking one of the town's magnificent beaches.
