Hérault, France: Where Retirees Live Well on €2,500 a Month

Thinking about retiring in the South of France? 🌞 Don’t write it off as “millionaire only” just yet. In this video, we explore Hérault, France — one of the most affordable and beautiful Mediterranean départements where retirees are quietly finding their new home.

We’ll cover:
The real cost of living in Hérault (housing, food, and daily life)
The climate bonus 🌤️ and why it’s perfect for retirees
Healthcare access and what you really pay in France
Local culture, festivals, and community life
The downsides you should know (crime, storms, bureaucracy)
Plus, at the end: two real properties — one to rent, one to buy — so you can picture what’s possible here.
If you’ve been dreaming about a Mediterranean retirement without Riviera prices, Hérault might just be your secret.
