The Creuse: Houses for under €100,000, absolute tranquility… but at what price? 🏡
A department twice the size of Luxembourg, where fewer babies are born than anywhere else in France. The 15th arrondissement of Paris has twice as many inhabitants as the entire city. Yet, retirees settle there… and never leave.
In this video: why the Creuse has been emptying out since 1851, the real culprit (roads and trains), what your pension is really worth in Guéret, Aubusson, and La Souterraine, the thorny issue (doctors, hospitals, university hospitals), the pitfalls to watch out for before buying, and 10 things to know before you leave.
