There is much to recommend the northern France for the person looking for a new life-style in France. Proximity to Paris, and the UK increases the possibilities for renters and resales.
Enjoy the fresh sea breezes and seafood of the cliffs of Brittany, or the artist light on the waters or the rolling hills of Normandy. Here the colors are watercolors of blue, greys and greens. Imagine your home as a painting by Gauguin of Pont-Aven.
Welcome to French Connections
French Connections is a UK based advertising portal for owners of French properties. As with this site, you book directly with the listed owner or real estate agent. They list properties for sale but also rental properties and holiday homes throughout France. I enjoy their travel tips, currency converter, library listings, and the variety of property and services listed. Please tell them that you were referred by French Country Dreams.com. I receive no agency fees and am running this site as a service to the buyer and to establish a relationship for future seminars with my favorite 'immobiliers.'
At 258,000 Euros, this property is more costly then ones I usually display, however what a property this is!
I include it under budget properties because it is perfect for an investment property that could pay for itself.
The mill dates from 1929 and sits in an ideal location along the River Charentonne, 60K from beaches and 90 minutes to Paris.
The main homes 2 floors have voluminous rooms, extra high ceilings, and have central heating. The outside cellar could hold fruit or be a wine cellar. There are 2 outbuildings attached to the kitchen that could offer income as a B&B or would accomadate group ownership.
Your own windmill and trout filled lake.
Le Moulinde Kerandreau estate, in beautiful Brittany, offers 3 houses and a barn for a very reasonable $300,000. OK hardly budget, but with 3 modernized buildings set upon 5 hectares, along its own trout filled pond, it offers endless possibities to have it pay for it self.
All rooms have central heating, fireplaces and gardens. Live in the owners cottage and earn rental income from running your own gite. Easy transport is available to renters with the nearby train station or Roscoff port.

Affordable Paris Flats
I have watched Paris properties rise since the advent of the Euro, after all there is only so much space in inner Paris. Yet although prices have risen, as I predicted, there are still apartments found for far cheaper then their counter parts priced in New York or San Francisco.
This charming ground floor apartment is near the hills of Monte Marte and is a steal at 176,000 Euros'. Though small the lighting is lovely, there are none of the zillion stairs found in most Paris flats.

Greetings from France
Buying a home in France was easily the best investment I ever made, both financially and emotionally. When I sweep the cobwebs from the timbered eaves of my ancient home, I also sweep away the hassles of the modern world. I return from my stays there, stronger and more satisfied with my life. I can give testimony to the person interested in moving to France, as a part-time or full time home owner. Just do it! You will never regret your decision to invest in this lovely and affordable place.
