 Television
is looking for participants for a new primetime series
of I want that house. It isnt about taking a holiday
in the sun and looking at some nice houses. We are looking
for people SERIOUS about property developing
abroad and willing to lay their money on the table when
they see a fantastic bargain. Two of the programmes in
the series will be about buying property in the prosperous
market of France (particularly the Vendee, Charente, and
Charente-Maritime). We want people who want to make money
fast from their investment and are savvy enough to realise
where the hotspots are, buy and develop their new purchase
and either sell it on or get a revaluation to see how
much profit they have made. Contact
us for further details - filming starts in September. |

HRH
approval of la vie en France!
 HRH
The Prince of Wales spoke recently with an endorsement
of the virtues of old-fashioned values, he warned
of the danger of "sucking out every drop of culture"
in the rush to adopt the advances of modern life.
"Sometimes, nowadays, you get this awful feeling
that everything has to be so efficient and relevant
that there's no room in life for the things that make
it all worthwhile," the Prince said. "Why
do so many people nowadays want to go and live and
have their holidays in France?" Prince Charles
asked. "They want to make the most of all the
inefficiencies of so-called peasant farming life -
the wine, the food, the ambience. "We are in
real danger of sucking out every drop of culture from
the things that we value as important." We couldnt
agree more. Britain and the politicians in particular,
have lost the plot, resulting in growing numbers looking
to move to France.
