Cheaper as well

@@jeffreyadams648 That certainly did not hurt, although there are cheaper areas in France.

@@beauthestdaneyep…..they’re called Rotherham and Rochdale. Might as well have stayed there for that climate in Normandy and Brittany. 😂

@@derin111 Given I am in the US, doesn't apply to me, I assume you are talking about places in the UK.

Hmm - welcoming?! Neighbours in 24 had their house broken into and a machete planted very firmly in the centre of their coffee table...but only after said machete had been used to carve 'fuck off back to the UK' in their walls... Apparently the young male neighbours responsible (arrested) didn't like Brits...

@olivierheral5582 Thank you for that, and yes I am a great believer of "When in Rome........."

@Hidensilk There will always de some bad stories somewhere, no one lives in LaLaLand

French grammar can be tricky. I know, je l’apprends depuis plusieurs ans

I think you might be on the wrong video...

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you

FRENCH: well I didn't find it very informative at all ... no price range ... you can do all those activites anywhere ... the weather is interchangeable - you takes your choice. I don't think this video gave any useful information at all - sorry 🥺

And regulations, lots of regulations...

@@wordimobi5765 true:) But a little patriotism feels good!

"Thank you" right back at you

I come from Cornwall, so with you all the way!

Good call!

I fully agree ! Not easy even for the French, so don't be fooled by attractive prices and jolis villages

You're welcome! Glad to hear you found it helpful!

It's a dilemma... a nice dilemma, but one all the same !

@kumarupkar I think you can say that, but as I say in the video this is my choice and when you are brought up on the coast, you will always have an attachement for it

I'll certainly think about it !

Well, hard to say, but certainly the bottom half of France as in cutting a line at about the Nantes level. After that, it all depends on the villages. Personally, I have a house in Dordogne in a small commune of 280 inhabitants and there is a communal swimming pool, the next one I know of is in the local town with 5000 inhabitants and 15km away. But several local communes have swimming lakes with beaches, or even swimming beaches on the side of the river. But you need to shop around, I am pretty sure you can find options in most areas.

Thanks for the insight, I will add it to my travel list!

Hi Will, that is the Port St. Goustan in Auray on the southern coast.

Hi there, to be honest I have never been there, but I don't have an urge to go there neither. 😁😎

Nice one!

I am considering a house purchase in the Aude or Herault regions. Can I ask have you found it very windy?

Sounds nice, but personally I am not keen on the Mistral winds down there.

@@TheFrenchPropertySpecialists We're not really affected by that here, the mountains give us a little haven - that's more on the coast. Come to think of it I haven't had the opportunity to fly my kite for 7 years!

Definitely very expensive

Too far south for me personally, but your logic sounds good.

Try the "aude" département, it's not expensive, you have wonderful places near the Med ( Gruissant ) and the back country is awesome

Swirl: I think his list was same 'ol same 'ol

@@joline2730 Not necessarily . Most people gravitate toward Paris and the other well known places and don't explore all their options.

Thanks for watching!

@joline2730 Maybe the fact that it seems the "Same'ol same'ol" confirmes that they are the nicest areas?

@@TheFrenchPropertySpecialists Those are nice areas but they are not the only nice areas. You should travel the country side and check for yourself. You might be surprised at what you find.

Sounds Good! (And well thought out!)

And the Classic Car event!

Hi there, at the end of the video is the Corrèze/Limousin area and then the Charente/Charente Maritime areas

Next time! Maybe…. How much is my silence worth to you???

@@TheFrenchPropertySpecialists Ha! Now there's a question.... 🤔

Yes, but property's very expensive...

Me too...(But don't tell anyone!!)

I would go to the France-Comte area

how often would a property come up for sale in gorbia and how much, I live in Australia

I'll check it out!

I take it you mean Gorbio, not Gorbea, which is in Spain I believe, and sorry but there I can’t help you much. If it is Gorbio, in the Alpes Maritimes, pretty well on the Italian border. It’s a tiny little commune with a population somewhere around 1500 people, but very sort after. Average price there is over 5100 €/m², with the departmental average being only 4200 €/m² and has had a 30% increase in prices in the past 5 years! Presently on the French website Bien’Ici there are half a dozen properties for sale there, which isn’t bad considering the size of the place www.bienici.com/recherche/achat/gorbio-06500

Us damn Corns get everywhere!!

Hi Kevin, whats your maximum distance from Bergerac? And are you looking to find Expats, or avoid them?

@@TheFrenchPropertySpecialists I'm looking for ex Pat's for my mother she's quite old and will not learn much French it would be nice to be around half an hour from bergerac we have 250k approx thanks kev

Hi there, we personally don't cover that area, so I would suggest that you contact richardimmo.com/ they have English speaking members. Say hello to them for me.

don't imagine winter is mild. It rains alot also.

Some of us like nature....

Each to their own but I did say it was where I would buy. And unfortunately Cotes d’Azur doesn’t do it for me.

Worth it is a bit of a stretch ;) Love living here, but the property rates are a travesty.

Agree. I live in Valbonne the best village in the Cote d'Azur.

Not so many château there,,maybe😮

Well as mentioned in the video I was brought up on the coast and thus am biased

@@TheFrenchPropertySpecialists 🤣 no problem

Alsace is one of the least known and one of the best regions in France, food and drink, very hard to beat, medieval villages in the foothills of the Vosges are stunning. Colmar is probably the best town to live in.

Now that's a plan!!

Hi there Louise, there are no restrictions on purchasing a property here, anyone from anywhere can. How ever if you are a NonEU resident, then you are limited to 90 days in any 180 days. This video explains things : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qN90erCa2cXLaIU.html

@@TheFrenchPropertySpecialists Hi Dan, Thank you so much for this and the link. Have a great evening and im really enjoying these videos

Oh how my dreams of moving to France ended with you know what…….wonder how many Tories beat the vote and have a nice manor there…..I am lucky I live in Jersey, however only 14 miles from France, but our crap ferry service to St.Malo might as well be the other side of the moon…..love France, the people, the culture…..oh and the wine and food……right now how do I get an Irish passport and move that way to the beautiful France.

The Perigord region mentioned in the video is part of Nouvelle Aquitaine, as is Charente. Nouvelle Aquitaine is massif (about 1/5th of France) and runs up the western coast from Spain to Brittany, so not that easy to sum up in a phrase or two.

its now called New Aquitaine and a huge area. You will have to be more specific

Two very different areas....

Dordogne is lovely, personally don't know Annecy though, will add it to my bucket list

Depends where you are

That's rubbish. Been here 10 years and it doesn't. It's a myth.

@richardshiggins704 « Paris, point le plus éloigné du paradis, n’en demeure pas moins le seul endroit où il fasse bon désespérer » Emil Cioran

I think you are referring to the coastal towns.... inland they stay open

A bit too rural for me, but lovely countryside!

What about Montpellier? Where is it situated please , I heard it's nice .

Nope, Brittany is better.

@@Bwarock Too busy and too many tourists!

@@MarieN8959google is a great place answer that kind of question.

I’ll have to take your word on that one..

I think that applies to anyone anywhere

Gigi: well said mon ami

Nope, everybody needs to speak English. I won’t be bothered to learn another language. The French should appease the tourists.

@@branleyhd I take it that was rhetoric humour ?

​@@branleyhd I always pretend I don't understand english and speak French to anglo-saxons. 😊

Well it depends on which region to which region you compare, but at the moment it is anything from 2-4 times more expensive in the United Kingdom

@@TheFrenchPropertySpecialists Woaw ! And french people who believe that real estates prices are to expenssive and that the prices will down !

As it has the world over..... your point being?

Enrichment is everywhere now

@@TheFrenchPropertySpecialists get decent security obviously

Il n'y a pas de règles qu'interdite l'acquisition par au rapport du Brexit. Simplement pour les durées des séjours etc.

@@TheFrenchPropertySpecialists ah ok 👍

​@@TheFrenchPropertySpecialistsBut the EU is evil, isn't it ? 😂😂😂🇪🇺🇪🇺

You have the Périgord region, the Limousin region and the Charente/Charente Maritime/Vendée

Also the Dordogne he mentioned.

@@amayastrata4629 Yes that is under Perigord

Bit too South for me.

I didn't mention it as I am not a fan of the Mistral.

@@TheFrenchPropertySpecialists Ha! Ha! Yes, the sea breeze. The mistral is a word more associated with the cote d'azur whereas tramontane is more commonly used in cote vermeille. It is - as you say though - down to preference and what you want from a french region.

Nice Area, but too far from the sea for my taste. Certain advantages being on the German border though

@@TheFrenchPropertySpecialists I am interested in Le Grand Est, the Vosges, the Jura, etc., but now I see they are too far from the coast for your taste. What about Picardie? (up from Normandie, I think?)

@@joelangford7601no good features to the Picardie.

Burgundy is very different from North (very rural) and South (vineyards)

@@joelangford7601 Picardie is beautiful and the coast splendid. Yet the weather is similar to the British climate.

Well I did show them on the map. I thought that was enough

@@TheFrenchPropertySpecialists map is great for someone that knows France or lives there...those of us outside of France or with no clue what is where is pretty hard to see what u see...love the part with the green forest...thank your for your reply.

I’m from Toronto and my partner is from aveyron and we are currently looking in that area - in Naucelles . I just love it and houses are not that expensive either .

@@mdte5421 that is good to know...my two choices are Portugal and France but the country side..

Having close'ish neighbours can be good in France as they are probably the best security system available.

Well as always, the further south you go, the hotter it is, but in some regions don't be surprised by the cold winters!

@TheFrenchPropertySpecialist not as bad as the UK I hoped

Close to the ocean (west of France) or the sea (Mediterranean coast), it is never very cold in winter (less than in the east). But the oceanic influence means that it is also less warm in summer in the west than in the east (except with climate change which has produced summer heatwaves in the west for 3/4 years). Overall, the Mediterranean coast and the Provençal hinterland (as long as you don't go to high altitude) is the warmest place in France on average, but it is also the most touristy...

Not me personally, but each to their own. 😁😎

Accept the rental market is very complicated at the moment. That will work if you have a French income, if not, it is far from easy.

@@TheFrenchPropertySpecialists I was talking about holidays. As for buying, prices are going down so don't rush. Now there are lots of things to look at when buying in France which Brits are not used to, from the risk of forest fire to the lack of sun in a deep valley during winter. I see people buying properties without knowing that a TGV railway is planned nearby !

Forest fires and deep valleys exist in the UK too. It's more a case of if you are moving to somewhere you don't know well, make sure you do your research. But that applies to moving from one county/state to another, as with one country to another.

If you are planning to buy a place to live in France, I'd advise you to look for houses in winter or, at least, during the off-peak season, in order to see what things are like when the weather is not as nice.

KZfaq is a constant learning curve and this video was one of my first ones 2 years ago. And personally, I think asking politely has more effect than just moaning....

@@TheFrenchPropertySpecialists Je comprends. Early days & learning. But remember, one person's constructive comment is another person's moan. Perspective. Cheers.

Too far from the coast for me, but lovely countryside there.

Weather.... southern half Cheap housing.... rural areas English expats, Eymet, Brantome, Jugon les Lacs, Huelgoat, Sourdeval, Cannes, etc,etc. There are enclaves all over France.

Don't believe everything you read in the press!!

Very right wing? So what? What do you mean exactly? Are you planning to get involved in French politics?

Just because you don't agree with me, doesn't mean I am wrong, especially as I stipulated that it is my personal choice. I find the Rheims area very flat and boring personally

Are you going to develop on this or just leave it there like a lonely crossword clue?

@@TheFrenchPropertySpecialists My parents have a property they're trying to sell.They're required to provide the personal info of every person they know and every relative, to declare the will not try and block the sale or have any claim to the property. It's taken years.

Well you are either missing a part of the story or you are being cheated by someone. The only time they will contact relatives is in the case of a succession. They certainly won’t contact « every person they know ». Who is dealing with the « sale » a notary or an agent?

@@TheFrenchPropertySpecialists You were very helpful. Thanks

That is always relative to where you are coming from and what you are comparing to assess this idea.

FAKE NEWS - les baux emphytéotiques de 99 ans existent déjà dans la législation Francaise, mais sont rarement utiliser. Vous faites reference à un buzz sur les reseaux sociaux qui était prise completement hors contexte. C'était un projet de loi (la loi Lagleize ) pour "aider les classes moyennes d'acquérir en zones tendus". Donc déjà n'appliquer pas à toute la France, et deuxièmement n'as même pas était adopté.

FAKE NEWS - 99-year "emphyteutic" leases already exist in French legislation but are rarely used. You’re referring to a social network buzz that was taken completely out of context. It was a bill (the Lagleize law ) to "help the middle classes to acquire in expensive urban areas". So already it does not apply to all of France, and secondly it was not even be adopted by government

Et pour info Jean-Luc Laglaize fait partie du Mouvement Démocrate et donc n'est même pas supporteur de Macron. Pas que je défende Macron, mais vérifiez vos sources avant de dire n'importe quoi.

@@TheFrenchPropertySpecialists I understand you don't like to be disturbed in your business, it's logical. I know a time will come soon, you'll remember my words, but it'll be too late for the buyers. Many people (rich) I know or fallow are selling right now to invest out of that crooked E.U that we rejected in 2005 to 54%...even democracy doesn't exist here any longer. P.S: When taxes rise like they did for 15-20 years, you are no owner anymore, you become a tenant, the real estate taxe in Paris rose a 53%...that year!!!!!!!! The same is happening everywhere in the country, and...that's a fact.

@@TheFrenchPropertySpecialists You are partially right, the law is not active "pour le moment" and I understand you don't like what goes against your business, but "read my lips" THEY (who ever it is) want it to happen, Macron is even thinking about changing our constitution to be "elected" a third time witch is impossible right now and if you want another reason not to buy in France, look what they did to Russian citizens, they took their apartments and homes and freezed their bank accounts!!!! I know what I'm saying, by super taxing real estate they make owners become tenants. Bon courage pour la suite.

I started selling houses in the 1980's when the "locals" weren't even interested in the old barns, longères and stone properties. They all wanted to build new houses in the villages and towns. Secondly, if you wish to blame someone, then blame your parents and their generation for happily agreeing to sell their homes at a profit ( oh thats just human nature, sorry ). In the 1980's through to until recently, most of the area's "foreigners" were buying, were in fact very rural areas that suffered greatly of the "depopulation of the countryside" were the "locals" were all selling up (at a profit) and moving to the towns for employment, and the arrival of the "foreigners" often plays/ed an important role in helping the "local" businesses, tradesman, shops, restaurants, and bars stay open. So before dumbly & publicly repeating things you have read on the internet, try doing a bit of research.

Go tell that to Parisians too!

You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can't please the unpleasable….
