Why rural France & rural Portugal?
In rural France & rural Portugal, there’s land, space, and potential — but not enough people to bring it alive. Each territory we select is unique in food, architecture, and landscapes, yet shares one thing: unused land ready for regeneration. This isn’t nostalgia — it’s smart rurality. We choose vision over speculation, and regeneration over profit.

Who are these services for?
Our services are designed for international clients dreaming of a home in authentic, rural France or Portugal — whether for vacations, retirement, relocation, or a meaningful lifestyle project.

From the beginning, we wanted to offer not only a welcoming France & Portugal but also a France & Portugal of inclusion, vision, and openness — a complement to what our societies sometimes struggle to provide. Very quickly, My Incredible France! & My Incredible Portugal! attracted interest far beyond these origins: from Brazil to Turkey, India to Japan, Morocco and beyond. For all, it is both a green investment in France or Portugal and a well-prepared journey into a new life. We work best with people who: → Are open to cultural discovery → Care about the environment and personal growth → Seek peace, nature, heritage, and beauty beyond tourist clichés
