Read Books OnlineA French RestorationYou can sample or even read the whole book online this way and then decide if you want to buy - to buy use our Amazon links below - it seems much cheaper in the UK. A French Restoration (The Pleasures and Perils of Renovating a Property in France) is the story of three years of effort to turn an unihabitable property into a home - in 2001 a couple planningto retire to France started their mission to find their dream. This book is both amusing and enlightening for anyone thinking of buying a "ruin" in france to turn into their home - I know, I did the same thing ten years earlier. --- There is a lot of sound advice in this book and many myths are exposed - I was easily able to guess who the ghastly British estate agents are and I do not agree about some of the comments about medical costs and taxes in France, but overall a very useful book for anyone thinking about "doing up" an old French property. --> There are over 2,000 features and articles on this site about French life and living in France. You can search from the search box above. Do browse through our website and please use the advertising links, they help pay for the site. I do try to reply to all mail - Contact Me - most is about property or living in France. I publish comments in this newsletter which I believe are of interest and may help find answers for people wanting to come to France. I hope readers will go to the adverts which help support our overheads. |
