Alpes-de-Haute-Provence






	Map View: Department \| Region \| France

Digne is the capital of this department situated in the centre of the Provence-Alpes-Cote d’Azur region (south east France) which is famous for its preserved fruits and confections. It is a fairly arid and dry mountainous region depending mainly on tourism, dairy farming and fruit orchards for its existence. Benefiting from cooler temperatures than its coastal neighbours it is also far more tranquil and is actually very under populated in the mountainous areas with the bulk of the department’s population centred around the towns of Manosque and Dignes-les-Bains.

Dignes is made up of a labyrinth of twisting, winding, medieval style roads with various restored medieval structures giving the town undeniable character. A ski resort at Pra Loup is an additional benefit in the North-east of the department.

Property for Sale in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence

Property for sale in Alpes de Haute Provence will be good value compared with the more famous towns in the region such as Aix-en-Provence or the Coastal resorts with more opportunity for property renovation projects but rental yields will clearly not be as high or so easy to obtain. The average price of a 2 bedroom apartment in the department is between 130k and 150k Euros while a 4 bedroom house will cost between 210k and 230k Euros. Property prices here are below the national average for their categories and in a good location is a promising place in which to buy as an investment and to live.
