228 Castles for sale in Occitanie

Occitanie is the largest and most varied of France's post-2016 regions, stretching from the Pyrenees to the Mediterranean and taking in Cathar country, the Canal du Midi and the university city of Toulouse. Castles here range from ruined mountain fortresses built during the Albigensian Crusade to more habitable Languedoc mas and bastide-town townhouses, with a concentration of restoration projects around the old Cathar strongholds.

Prices sit below Provence and the Loire for comparable size, reflecting both the drier, hotter climate inland and a renovation market that is less established than in more tourist-heavy regions — worth factoring in, since specialist contractors are less plentiful here than further north.
