Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur (PACA) is the region that covers the southeastern corner of France, with a border with Italy and a long Mediterranean coastline.
Nouvelle-Aquitaine is the most popular location for foreign buyers in France. Or at least, among British buyers anyway, for whom the northern departments are a day’s drive from the Channel ports.
Île-de-France is the region including Paris, but stretches way beyond, especially south, as far as 100 kilometres. Literally translated as “island of France”, it is also commonly known as the Paris region.
