A couple of readers have kindly written to me explaining that while you enjoy seeing the properties I show for sale, many would prefer some smaller less expensive houses to dream over.
So today let's pretend that we have maximum 200,000 euros to spend on a property in Normandy. We prefer an old house with character, and we don't mind if it needs a little restoration, and total redecorating! Do you agree with these criteria? Good, then here is my selection for you to carry around in your mind this weekend .......
I am showing you one of my favourites first of all, comes complete with a stable, chicken house, pond, large garden, wine cellar and huge attic to renovate
These properties are mostly further west in Normandy than us, often in the traditional Normandy style, that is long and narrow, rooms leading from one into another, usually with several fireplaces.
The beams showing through the structure is also typical of the region, on this house I love the exterior staircase
From the so sweet to the more imposing!
Voila! I have to add that I am not an estate agent, and the agencies have not paid me to show these properties, it's just my pleasure for an in-between-season weekend. If however you want more details on any of the houses, just drop me a line and I'll give you the link.
Happy dreaming!

ReplyDeleteI loved reading this! I wish you could find the house in Normandy that we went to on our first buying trip to France for my shop! It was fabulous! They sold antiques from their home as well as from their barn! I will have to investigate some and maybe you will know where it is! Loved this post!

Many brides are choosing to get married outdoors these days, in part because so many couples don't live lives that are deeply religious so there is no strong church affiliation. If you are looking for a venue for your wedding and want something a little more modern
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done indeed.I think listening to your members is key and ACTING on the info they share/provide is also important. Taking their feedback, knowledge etc and doing something with that information..whether that means promoting it so other members can benefit or making changes to how the community is run, features it includes, etc. Certainly you should communicate how you are acting on the info your members provide.Don't forget that another way to build online community is to leave your own community from time to time and visit others.
ReplyDeletethanks

ReplyDeleteI’d like to own a French house, just a small one, like in your photos. But I just got myself a new ranch house, and I absolutely love the space! You can do practically anything, so I’ve chosen to start a small farm. In the future, maybe I’ll buy myself a French house too.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a kid I usually look for a french house photo and collect them. That's why when I saw your post those memories suddenly flash back :) Big thanks for sharing this kind of blog. I appreciated it.
ReplyDeleteHello, I just love your house and It reminds me of my mothers story about her french friend who brings here in France :). Glad I visited
