Price reduction on New Build developments in St Remy de Provence

st-remyIf you are among those wishing to buy a property in the South of France, there may be a lucky break for you! Because of the current financial crisis, New Build developers are making efforts to help you buy a property. Bouygues, for example, are cutting prices for a specific development which is going to be delivered at the end of 2008. They lowered the price of their new build apartments in St Remy de Provence, indeed, by 20%. As a result, it is now possible to get one of the remaining 7 Mas du Rouvre apartments for €189,400, instead of €209,400.
€236,600 will now buy you a three-bedroom apartment, located in the picturesque village of St Remy de Provence, at the foot of the Alpilles and offering 77m2 of living space. If you invest €249,900, you will become the owner of an 81m2 apartment, comprising four bedrooms, in the midst of green hills and perfumed countryside.
The particular atmosphere of St Remy de Provence seduced and inspired lots of painters, poets, musicians and writers. The charming city has a rich historical and cultural heritage, as we can admire Gallo-Roman vestiges, attend a bullfight in the bullrings of the city or visit the ethnology and popular arts Museum. St Remy perfectly mixes tradition with stylishness and consequently pleases everyone!
What’s more, the notary fees are less expensive on New Build developments purchase than on old property purchase. That is to say they amount to 6% to 8% of the property price for an old property, against 2.5% or 3% for a New Build development in France.
So, if you were reluctant to buy a property in view of the current crisis, you should think twice!

Saint Remy de Provence, the painters and poets hot spot

van-goghLocated at the foot of the Alpilles, Saint Remy de Provence has a rich historical heritage. It is picturesque because it has kept tradition and personality. Its particular atmpsphere and location seduced lots of artists, ranging from painters to poets. Van Gogh has been inspired by the town and painted scenes of the fields, cypress trees, peasants, and rustic life characteristic of the region, like Starry Night.
Come and discover the many events that give rythm to the town, such as the bull fights (in the bullrings of St Remy), or the sheep migrating festival, the horse fair, but also concerts and exhibitions. When you arrive to the town from the south, discover the important vestiges of the prosperous Gallo-Roman city. They have been uncovered on the site of Glanum. You can complete your visit of the site by going to the Archeological museum, which is located in the residence of the de Sade family. You can also discover the almond trees at the Maison de l’Amandier (another museum), or the ethnology and popular arts of the town, at the Musee des Alpilles.
If you are around St Remy for your property search, please yourself by walking on the streets in the old town centre, where you can admire the 17th and 18th century facades of private residences or go through local shops for regional pottery and local. Prefer Wednesday to go there, because it’s market day! Or avoid market day for a quiet viewing of your future property in Provence!
