This book, written by French property expert Richard Whiting, is of equal value to those looking for a new property in France, those who have already moved to live in France or those who regularly holiday in their French home.
‘The Homeowner’s Guide to Living in France’ provides an excellent and broad background to the nation and to the French people and way of life - and what’s more, it is an excellent book that succeeds in helping readers get the most out of their time in France.
‘The Homeowner’s Guide to Living in France’ is basically divided into two sections; the first dealing with background but relevant information about the nation, and the second section exclusively dedicated to living in France and getting the very most out of every day life - whether you are a permanent resident or a some time holiday home occupant.
Part one covers such in depth subjects as the economy and political landscape in France and how this is expected to develop and change over the coming years and what the likely impact of any significant changes will be on the nation, its people and expatriates living in France. In addition to such weighty matters handled by Richard Whiting, ‘The Homeowner’s Guide to Living in France’ touches on the natural landscape, how it has changed, how to get the most out of France’s beauty and also how French family life works.
One of the most significant parts of the first section touches on how to buy a property in France and the author brings fresh perspective to this topic which has been well covered already in print. Because the author’s approach to discussing France in this title is all about making the most out of, and thoroughly enjoying life in France, so his angle when discussing buying property is on finding a home rather than just an investment commodity.
The second section of ‘The Homeowner’s Guide to Living in France’ takes the reader through day to day living, French culture, the social side of life in France and everything in between! There is information for those living full time relating to the law, education, healthcare and employment – and for those with a holiday home in France or who reside full time in the nation but want to explore more of it there is a chapter all about enjoying holidaying in France.
The approach that the author has taken in this title is unique – there are many titles in print that touch on single aspects covered in this title, but their emphasis is usually either expatriating to live in France or buying French investment property assets. This book is far more readable and digestible and therefore enjoyable than some such other books!
