When we decided on Capestang as the perfect spot in Europe to raise our children, what we saw in this village was untouched potential.
We stumbled across a perfectly preserved French village that stays open year round. Unlike many of the coastal communities that cater to tourists, they then shut down for the winter. Capestang has just enough life and resources...
