Gite furniture moving in.

At the end of last week the upstairs rooms in the gite were finished. They have been almost there for a couple of weeks, but still needed light fittings, heaters, stairgates, mirrors, shelving, etc. Now that all the final finishing touches have been completed Caroline has been busy sorting out curtains and putting in the furniture, beds, wardrobes etc.

The vast majority of the smaller stuff for the gite had already been bought but the larger items we left to later to avoid having to store loads furniture and move it all twice. The 'window' shopping and planning is the hard bit (well and paying for it) so it was just a matter of driving the van about and collecting the beds etc.

We are both really pleased with the result and the gite is really starting to take shape. A week or so left downstairs for the finishing touches and the gite should be finished. Where have I heard that phrase before.

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.
