Land prices in La Rochelle
Land sells by the square metre of plot, and buildable land is a different market from farmland. The category is the cadastral one, not the use: near a city, an agricultural plot is priced for what may one day be built on it, not for what grows there. Medians come from notarial sales (DVF) over the last five years.
