Located in south-eastern France, the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (PACA) region is one of Europe's most popular destinations, attracting millions of visitors and new residents every year in search of the mild, sunny south.
This small region is made up of six départements: Alpes Maritimes, Hautes Alpes, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Bouches-du-Rhône, Var and Vaucluse, a number of major cities including Marseille (France's 2nd largest city), Nice and Toulon, and internationally famous towns such as Cannes and Saint-Tropez. It's the sunniest region in France, and the most sought-after for second-home buyers! Buying a house in the PACA region means choosing a life close to the sea and the mountains, lulled by the sun and the song of the cicadas.
