Fed up with life in the UK we moved to France for a new start. Left behind the private schooling, traffic jams and housing estates for a better quality of life. We now live in Brittany, France running gites (holiday cottages).

Saint Blandine
BBQ party tonight. Really good party with guests from the gites and a few local friends.
I built the BBQ from an oil drum cut in half with a few bits welded on for legs.
We also had the Daily Mail come and take a few photos and an interview about us moving to France. It should be published in the Mail on Saturday 19th June 2004.

These are our experiences of running a gite business in Brittany, France. A gite is the French equivalent of a country holiday cottage. French culture, language, taxes and bureaucracy. Find out about our gites using the links on the LHS. This is our fourth season (2006) and we are looking forward to the summer. Stories about the road to this point will be added in due course. Renovation nightmares, builders, stress, schooling etc. Stay tuned.
