The notaires have recently published house price figures for each department of the Nouvelle Aquitaine region.
The scale of the difference in prices between and within the departments is substantial. Lowest average prices in the region are in the upland Creuse department (€650m2), whilst highest average prices are in Gironde (€4,000m2), some 6 times higher.
The table below shows average prices in each department, excluding the 10% of extremes either end.

Drill down and the divergencies are even sharper. Thus, prices in the up-market Lège-Cap-Ferret seaside resort in Gironde average over €8,000m2, whilst in the Creuse it is possible to pick up a property for around €410m2.
In the Charente Maritime, prices in the beautiful l'Île de Ré average €6,530m2, but away from the coast property can be bought for €1,430m2.
Highest prices in the Dordogne are around the departmental capital Périgueux, where they average €1,670m2. In the north of the department prices average €1,100m2.
In Charente, prices around the departmental capital Angoulême average €1,500m2 whilst in the Charente Limousine area average prices are €760m2.
Although there was a general increase in prices in most departments, prices fell slightly in Deux-Sèvres and Vienne compared to 2020.
