Renovations

I have been watching this house renovation. This house is in the middle of the village, next to the church and up until six months ago it was just a pile of stones, with a few slates for a roof and just openings for windows. This project has been a hive of activity for french artisans, with a different van arriving almost every week, and now this house is being brought back to its former glory. The roof has been completely replaced, new velux's and other windows installed and the re pointing is almost finished.

Many of our guests who stay in our gites are keen to find that perfect french house, and it is good to know that lots do. We now have several regular clients who have bought renovation projects or building land who come back to stay in one of our gites every month or so to watch their dreams become reality.

There are still bargains to be had, just last week, a stone house requiring considerable renovation was put on the market at 12,000 euros.
