Property for sale in Vosges

Vosges takes its name from the mountain range that dominates its landscape, giving the department a reputation for outdoor pursuits found almost nowhere else in northeastern France. Good road links keep the department connected while retaining a distinctly rural feel. Defined by artistic and craft history, Vosges is home to Épinal, long known for its tradition of popular prints and illustration, a craft that gave French the expression image d'Épinal, still used for a rose-tinted view of things. Away from the main historic attractions, buyers will find hiking, climbing, mountain biking and, in winter, skiing across the Vosges mountains, along with two regional nature parks. Vosges is also noted for its low number of foreign residents and tourists compared with neighbouring Alsace, making it an undiscovered choice. A mountain climate brings warm summers and snowy winters. Property here ranges from a mountain chalet, a village house or a larger rural property with land, Vosges offers space and value. With outdoor sport, craft heritage and undiscovered countryside, it is a department that rewards buyers seeking something different. Houses in Vosges currently average €1,226/m².
