Cultural dynamism and effervescence will be on the program. Otherwise: quiet and authenticity. Each corner of this vast and rich region has its own traditions and its own architecture. This is why property in Midi-Pyrenees is very varied and the choice of houses for sale varies according to place: old shepherds' houses, the rectangular houses of Quercy or 'Petites Toulousaines' (small Toulouse houses), to mention just a few.
