If you decide to buy your house in certain areas which are well known to metamorphose into river beds once a year, you are likely to find insurance extremely hard to come by.
Some areas of the Gard and Hérault are almost untouchable from the point of view of insurance companies, so check that you can insure your property before you commit to buy. If the property has been flooded just twice, your insurance premiums are going to rise considerably after the second occasion.
