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).

Finished laying the block pavers for the patio of one of the gites today. I made the mistake of trying to brush damp ordinary building sand into the joints between the pavers, contrary to the instructions. After sweeping and sweeping for ages, even after it dried out, I still can't get enough into the cracks. Time to buy some fine sand.

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.
