Our Location

If you're looking for the best possible region to purchase your French property, you’ve just found it.

French Character Homes is based in Pau, in the Pyrenees Atlantic region of South West France : just one hour from both the ski slopes of the Pyrenees and the sandy beaches of the Atlantic coast. Winter snow sports and summer beach activities make the region an ideal choice for an all year round holiday home and an equally great lifestyle choice as a main residence.

At French Character Homes, our geographical coverage extends from our offices in Pau to the Madiran wine region to the north ; Tarbes and Lourdes the famous Pilgrimage site, to the east ; the Jurançon wine region and foothills of the Pyrenees to the south and the old Béarn region to the west. Here are a few reasons why we feel this area is so great:
