Developments and rennovations currently underway in The Tarn in France will attract the interest of Fly to Let investors looking for new opportunities.

The Tarn, which rests against the Pyrenean mountains, is close to the cities of Toulouse, Carcassonne and Montpellier.

The area borders South West France and the Midi. It is a 10 hour drive from northern ferry ports, with motorway up until the last 30 minutes, making the destination accessible by car, and surrounding airports include Rodez, 50 miles away, Toulouse 60 miles away, Carcassonne 100 miles away and Bergerac 120 miles away. The Paris Toulouse TGV service also has local rail links.

The Tarn has approximately 2,380 hours of sunshine annually with temperatures rising to 40 degrees. The area can be explored by walking, riding or cycling through a network of footpaths, bridle paths and cycle paths.

Four rivers, the Tarn, the Viaur, the Cerou and the Agout also make canoeing and kayaking popular. Panoramic views surround the six golf courses in the area.

here is also a natural adventure park in Saint Pierre de Trivisy with four hectares of tree games and mountain biking in the Gresigne Forest.

For culture vultures there is a wealth of history to explore from the Romanesque to the Renaissance.

Property investors can choose between restored farms, mills and dairies as well as traditional properties. Albi is the capital of the Tarn with the internationally proclaimed monuments of the Toulouse Lautrec museum and the Cathedral of Saint Cecelia. The beauty and fascination of Albi and its surrounding areas has drawn attention to the property market and highlighted the variation of affordable real estate.

Another choice for Fly to Let investors is the town of Castres where you will find the Goya museum, the Jean Jaures National Centre, and the Soreze Abbey school, the former military school in the reign of Louis X1V.

The cuisine of the Tarn is wide ranging. The strawberries, peaches and melons of the plains marry well with the air dried hams of Lacaune, the lamb from Lauragais and the Cepes from Gresigne.

Typical local dishes are fried river perch fillets with nettle butter, rack of lamb, radishes with salted liver and tournedos of guinea fowl with a stuffing of Cepes.
