Apartment for sale in Languedoc-Roussillon, France

The only fortified town in Europe still inhabited. The medieval city of Carcassonne has been designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 1997. In this magnificent fortress you can relive 2 500 years of history. This enchanting, romantic city is also a splendid example of a fortified town. Carcassonne is built high on a rocky hill top, its crenellated walls, 52 pointed turrets and picturesque castle luring you immediately into a medieval fantasy world. Indeed, Walt Disney was so impressed by the citadel that it served as inspiration for the design of his theme parks and the castle in Sleeping Beauty. We advise an evening stroll, when the floodlit citadel is at its most magical. Today the town divides into three parts: the walled citadel (La Cité), the medieval lower town (La Bastide St-Louis) and the sprawl of nondescript suburbs around them. La Cité, of course, is the main draw. The development is situated only 300m from the city, and 5 mins from the historic centre. Set down a leafy, quiet lane the Residence combines studio apartments to two bedroom apartments, a large indoor swimming pool, fitness suite, steam room and spa facilities. The rooms are spacious, measuring from 29m2 - 62m2 and each come with large private terraces and a personal parking space. There are two purchase options: 1: A yield of 4.5% with no occuaption for the first term of the lease, 2: a yield of 4% with two weeks occupation per year.

A really great location, on the edge of a historic city. Very popular area for tourism, due to the beautiful countryside, the fantastic weather and the proximity to beaches, vineyards and world famous food. A good yield, coupled with 2 weeks occupation makes this an ideal investment for those wishing to make the most of their property.
