gnasher16 29,607 Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 We bought a place about 10 years ago down in the south about halfway between Bordeaux and Limoges it was previously owned by some old artist bloke who used to go there to inspire him ......it was basically a big old barn conversion completely in the middle of nowhere we only went there 3 times in 2 years but made a couple of quid on it theres plenty of folk selling up here and buying there its a nice slow paced life but as someone else said theres just too many French people there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
