FROM WHEN MY PARTNER AND I WENT ON A LONG WEEKEND TO PARIS WE FELL IN LOVE WITH EVERYTHING FRENCH AND DREAMED OF BUYING A HOUSE .
IT TOOK NEARLY FIVE YEARS FOR THAT DREAM TO BECOME A REALITY
WE SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR MONTHS LOOKING FOR A HOUSE TO RENOVATE AND WE FOUND A HOUSE WITHIN OUR BUDGET.
WE TOOK A HUGE RISK AND WITHOUT EVEN VIEWING IT WE PUT IN AN OFFER,WE COULDENT BELIEVE IT WHEN THE OFFER WAS ACCEPTED AND THEN THOUGHT "OH MY WORD DID WE REALLY JUST DO THAT"SO,TELEPHONE CALLS WITH AGENCY PRINCE NOIR IN LUSSAC LES CHATEAU TOOK PLACE AND ALL THE PAPERWORK WAS DONE BY POST,WE WERE FINALLY GOING TO SIGN AND VIEW THE HOUSE.
THAT WAS IN NOVEMBER 2006,WE BOOKED TO STAY IN HOTEL DE FRANCE IN MONTMORILLON.
WE WENT TO THE BANK TO OPEN OUR FRENCH BANK ACCOUNT WITH LAURA FROM THE ESTATE AGENT WHO ACTED AS OUR TRANSLATOR AND AGAIN AT THE NOTARIES OFFICE.
THEN ON TO VIEW THE HOUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME.
WE WERE REALLY NERVOUS AS TO WHAT WE WOULD THINK OF IT .
BUT IT LOOKED EXACTLY AS IT DID ON THE WEBSITE ,IT WAS EVEN BETTER AS WE DID NOT REALISE WE HAD A MUCH BIGGER GARDEN .
WE WERE VERY PLEASED
THE PREVIOUS OWNERS SON INVITED US TO HIS HOUSE AND WE HAD COFFEE WITH THEM ,THEY HAD A BEAUTIFUL HOME .
WE THEN WENT SHOPPING IN MONTMORILLON AND THE NEXT DAY DROVE BACK TO PARIS FOR OUR FLIGHT HOME TO BELFAST
