Many British people have bought, and continue to buy, second homes in France. For some, this is an investment in a future when they intend to live permanently in these homes in a new and more enriching life.Some stay weeks at a time in them and enjoying Life in France. Others dash across on tiring journeys to spend just a few days renovating or hacking down the grass and weeds. They look forward to one day being in a position to move over permanently and being able to start to enjoy a life in France.This gradual move to France will help these newcomers to become accustomed gradually to the language, the administration and the local customs, so that it’s no great shock when they finally move over. Perhaps this may give a greater chance of achieving a successful life in France than a sudden decision and uprooting?
