Hunting for a House with Character in Southern France | House Hunters | HGTV

After years of saving, a Pittsburgh couple is ready to pursue their longtime dream of living in historic Southern France. They're looking for an older home in the Vaucluse region, but soon find themselves quibbling over how much "character" they can handle.

This spinoff of the wildly popular HGTV House Hunters globe trots from Sao Paolo to Prague. Home hunters and their real estate agents check out all sorts of architectural styles and work through the idiosyncrasies of buying real estate in other countries. In any language, home buying is an emotional experience.

they're both annoying in their own different ways. Perfect couple lol

That 3rd house was amazing. Who cares if you have to walk an extra 5-10 minutes for town?

[colettewithlove]

Number 3 all the way! that view after dinner with wine, beautiful!

I don't quite understand the need to BUY a house in any country before having a full understanding of what the culture, the system, the housing, etc. actually are. There are plenty of apartments to rent while getting used to the environment. But it's just my opinion based on having lived in several different countries. The third house had lot its charm but would have been a lot quieter than in the middle of town. But, to each his own.

"When we walk out the door, where is the culture of France?" said the man in France.

I like the turn key home with 3 bedrooms.

the last house was definitely te better choice, although it had been striped of all the charm, because let me tell you, the noise they will get in the high season coupled with te weird layout is going to drive them nuts. Like true tourists, they didn't understand that being so close to the touristic area is a nightmare for te peace of mind

Village houses are always quirky and a WC outside on a courtyard or balcony is typical too in France, Italy, Spain in old houses

[marybarry]

I like his attitude! He sees the glass half full instead of half empty! If he doesn’t like something, he knows he can change it! I like that

[lolah]

A bedroom with a bathroom open fully into it is not what anyone would call "romantic" 😄 I don't know how the woman puts up with that man's energy but good for her LOL.

[mencot]

The couple can’t be more different 😂 but as rambunctious as he is, he didnt cut her over or anything. Cute couple

[wisdomvsknowledge]

This is a couple that definitely seems to balance each other

Why do I continue to love this shows even though they ALWAYS buy the house BEFORE taping?! Then I get mad at the house that the “didn’t choose” even though it was never really an option?! Ugh. I like to be punished I guess 😅

[annahkmon]

SHOCKED by the place they chose, the ceilings are so low! I did love the location though. I would have picked second place and added a wall and reno outdoor bathroom nicer with a shower. Third place was the nicest but the location is too quiet for this couple!

Americans might need a speed course on Europe 101. I lived in Germany for 6 years as I was growing up, and traveled extensively in Europe, and homes in Europe are different than in the US. One of the first homes I lived in was a German farmhouse, very small fridge as alot of perishables were stored outside on the windowsill. Also only 1 or 2 rooms kept warm, the majority not. Rooms are not laid out the way we do them here in the States. If you decide to move to Europe (if I win the big one I'll be gone in a heartbeat) either adopt the European lifestyle or take LOTS OF CASH. But all in all, I love Europe.

[isabelreyes]

I like watching the giant agent show just how low the ceilings are 😂

[DanKohan]

It's been quite a journey for you two! I'm so glad you found the perfect house in the end. That minimalist house in the center of town is really special, and I'm sure you'll have a great time living there.

Fun couple, thought they made good decision. All 3 houses were interesting. Loved seeing the homes and little village, yes ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[shru]

I would have chosen the third one by miles.

[lisap.]

I ❤ house #3! I think their choice fits his personality.
