Property purchasing tour of the west of France - Sept 2012

From 10 - 14 September 2012, David will be taking a small group of people on our property purchasing tour of the west of France in a region located half way between the Loire Valley and Bordeaux/Dordogne and inland 1-2 hours from the Atlantic Coast. Learn all you need to know about buying property in France first hand from us, estate agents and others - maybe even find a place of your own to buy on the way!

Tour features include:

• 5 day tour of hand-picked areas in our identified region of southwest France
• our purchasing experiences shared including properties we think worth considering
• seeing the actual properties we purchased in beautiful and historic villages
• escorted viewing of properties with French real estate agents we have dealt with
• opportunities to explore some of the hidden treasures of the selected region
• accommodation at local historic and charming venues including a chateau
• enjoying your time with others who share the same interest in French property
• partaking in plenty of French gastronomic and other delights the area has to offer.

The tour starts in the university and shopping town of Nantes, then visits plenty of local Vendee villages before ending inland to Centre and Poitou-Charentes regions. Accommodation ranges from an impressive chateau, a comfortable, peaceful auberge and then to a charming regional hotel.
