French here in the process of buying a house in Isère. The cheapest regions in France are probably in the center, in Seine et Loire I saw many offers for very cheap houses.

You have almost no freedom in how you will rebuild something that is classified as a historical monument and the cost of work and maintenance will be several times the buying cost there.
