Come the revolution, folk will flee their homes and the streets will become urban battlegrounds. However, amongst the chaos, rest assured that French hairdressers, butchers, bakers and grocers will be the last women (& occasionally men) standing. They care not for the laws of commerce, rationality nor time, so a little random violence and the end of civilisation as we know it will be but a minor irritation.

Useful tips for buying your house in Dordogne

How are you going to use your house in the Dordogne?

This is probably the most important question to ask yourself. How are you going to use this house? Is it a permanent home or a holiday house? How much time will you spend there? And how many of you are there? I suggest that you write a brief – a wish list – with all the important things that you want the property to have, and in terms of priority. I propose that you limit yourself to 6 or 7 items.
