School's (almost) out for SummerYou can read this newsletter online from http://nizas.com/newsletters/june06_1/ Tomorrow is the National Music Festival in France. This heralds in the long summer break and the big "wind-down" for the mass exodus from Paris and the North to the sunshine and beaches of the South of France. I was in Paris for the Music festival a couple of years ago and it really was a good time, faces grey with months of living in offices were brightened with the anticipation of the trip south, all the musical events had people gathering around them like flocks of migrating starlings. School holidays have started for our kids - over three months off school. This was fine when they were needed for work on the farm, but twelve weeks of video games, television and lounging around the pool is not planned for this summer - any suggestions what I can do with my household will be welcomed. The light and colour in the South of France has been an inspiration to artists for centuries - Barbara, a friend of ours in Nizas is a talented painter, I was bowled over to see how strong and vibrant her recent photography is, have a look at the work on http://www.pbase.com/barbara_heide ======= In this weeks newsletter Having a nightmare with property in Europe? - get on TV Dream home has problems you didn't bargain for?

This is a safe way to invest in the freehold property market, you have a positive decision making input in the management and a share of the gains while, at the same time minimising the costs and work of running a home in another country. I am planning a book on this subject, its working title is "The Fractional Ownership Handbook" it will cover not only the hurdles and pitfalls and the diversity of opportunities worldwide, but also be a directory of all the listings where you can join like minded people to share and exchange homes for hundreds of other locations - even luxury cars yachts and private planes, all I have to do is finish the research and write it. Most of the information I get will be put on http://nizas.com/ so if you are thinking of Buying, selling or renting property in France this is an important subject to know about and the best site for information and advice. I try to make this newsletter useful and cover all aspects of living in France or visiting France. In eight years of writing many of you have become friends and it has been a pleasure meeting some readers, especially when they turn up with a bottle of wine. I will put my own thoughts and observations in a separate column each week so if you prefer not to hear about my life, likes and loves - you can skip past it. Do write to me, about anything you like (or do not like) mailto:tony@nizas.com === The recent articles and research I have done on Fractional Ownership has created a huge amount of interest and I am adding good properties to add to this part of the www.Nizas.com website. ======= We provide a Property Profiling Service a valuable and very cost effective way to pinpoint opportunities and save a huge amount of time.
