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).
Saturday, December 25, 2004
It's 0.5oC outside and snowing heavily. The kids are running around outside. It's not meant to snow here. It's only snowed twice in the last 17 years, and the previous time was in Feburary this year.
Snow on Christmas Day is normally quite rare in the UK, and in this part of France, and is a common seasonal gamble, like a flutter on The Grand National, for many people.

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.
