Caught a glimpse of Lucienne going into the bar for a coffee this morning.
Decided to join her.
‘Ecoute, she say’s, I’ve got a funny story for you. My nephew has just bought a house at Porcaro. A lovely house with a huge garden, a mature orchard and three enormous oak trees. He fell in love with the trees before the house!. He signed the Compromis de Vente last week. Saturday evening he was in the bar at Porcaro and a man approached him and said that he had some wood for sale. Bien sur, my nephew was interested as his new house (like most houses in Brittany) is heated by a wood burning stove. The man asked if he would like oak, the king of woods!. They agreed on a price and the man gave him directions to his new house!!… As soon as the Compromis de Vente had been signed the vendors were busy cutting down all the trees and making money from the wood!!’.
So if you are about to buy a house in France..beware !!
