I have a studio in toulouse and want to sell it, for the same price i can get a big house in let's say in rural Bayern, .
I'm not doing business in property estate, just i 'm very surprise as the rural bayern offer a lot of it for a decent price.

Legrandnez,
Only happy to help sir/madam. A couple more things you will need to consider.
Try to avoid denkmal properties or at least find out what it is about the house that has made the monument protection people place the property on their list. I once purchased a beautiful old manor house because no-one wanted it as it was denkmal - I purchased this house and the land for 3,000 euros!
When I asked what was protected it was only the ceilings inside the house - I could do what I wanted with the rest of the house and the outside - it was a wonderful buy.
Be aware - German builders are artisans - very proud of their trades and they do not come cheap - restoration costs can be expensive.
If you wish to purchase a property in Germany and still be close to France then take a look at the area to the west of the Moselle valley. The closer you get to the French border the cheaper the property becomes and there are farm houses there for less than 50 thousand.
Before you decide to buy, spend some time on holiday/fact finding in the area of your choice. I have lived in Germany for seven years and will retire there and I have researched Germany completely (or my advisors have).
The best value for money for a house/business to live in is without a doubt in Sachsen. It truly is an interesting and beautiful area. Central to almost anywhere you wish to visit in Europe and with several international airports in the area. Prague is about two hours away by train!
Dresden is a wonderful city with grand design and Bohemian areas side by side, a magical place to live. Meissen is like a Walt Disney town, also Bautzen and Gorlitz.
Leipzig is cheap, lively and a fun city. Halle/Chemnitz has some lovely areas also.
There are too many positive aspects to life in the area for me to list here and you would accuse me of working for the Sachsen tourist agency. You must go to see for yourself. I had once planned to retire to SW France (Vendee) but since going to Dresden I have never returned to France!
I hope you have fun finding your perfect spot but do not let your heart rule your head - check the property thoroughly and do not be too worried about saying no - as you have seen there are hundreds of properties to choose from no matter where you go.
Good luck mon ami.
