This book by talented writer Elizabeth Morgan represents a refreshing approach to the mini-‘Finding a Property in France’-genre that is just so popular because of the general popularity of France as a second home, holiday home or retirement home location – especially among Brits.
In her brand new title ‘Life Style French Style’ Elizabeth Morgan brings her own personal experiences and those of her many friends to bear on the subject matter of finding the right place in France to live, the right home to live in and the perfect blend of French life and expat life. This is a truly excellent book and one which the author herself wishes she’d read over twenty years ago before she embarked on her long love affair with property in France.
Elizabeth Morgan has lived between France and the UK for over twenty five years and she has moved homes in France six times in that period of time. Each home was in a different part of the nation as the author tried to find exactly the perfect marriage between her dreams of an idyllic lifestyle in France and the right property to call home.
As a result of these facts the author has in-depth and repeated experiences of every single aspect of the buying, renovating and reselling property in France process, meaning that every fact in her book ‘Life Style French Style’ has been properly researched and even personally tested!
The book takes the approach that the reader is already set on moving to live in France and that they are really determining which part of France to live in and which property to buy. Therefore there is a great deal of information about the differences and highlights of different regions and cities and the information is very well researched and hard to find and learn about unless you personally spend time in each location – as Elizabeth Morgan and her friends have!
You benefit from the author’s experiences and she entertains you with stories – both happy and dramatic – of what it’s like owning a home in France and living day to day in France.
‘Life Style French Style’ also touches on practical aspects of the buying process such as getting a French Mortgage and dealing with builders and planners; it looks as well at finding and buying new or second hand furniture, getting to grips with the legal and taxation systems in France and really understanding the likely cost of living that you will incur.
This is a rich, well written, entertaining and fact packed book and it comes highly recommended. You can read more about the title and the author on Amazon, just click here for information or to buy ‘Life Style French Style’
