About the region

Its capital city is Toulouse, which is also known as “La Cité Rose” because of its many pink-colored buildings. It is home to a young population due to the variety of universities, restaurants and hotels. It is also home to many different museums and sport facilities.

Enjoy both city life and countryside
A mere half hour drive, and one travels from the hustle and bustle of a busy metropolitan area to the slow pace and timelessness of the hilly countryside of Gascony or Lauragais with their narrow winding roads with seldom any traffic.
Midi Pyrénées is the perfect region for those wanting easy access both to the ocean and the mountains. For those with an interest in winter sports, the Pyrénées are well known especially for skiing and snowboarding.

Getting there, and property prices
Travel is relatively straightforward with a good choice of well-served airports and road/rail links.
The property prices, there, are rising steadily as it is close to the Languedoc-Roussillon region where prices are above average for France. The Gers department remains the most expensive in comparison to the others but if you go far from the capital, prices begin to fall. However, you will still find some prospects in certain departments.
