English speaking architect in Brittany

With the help from a friend I have located an English speaking local architect. Because the completed renovation work will be over 170 square meters it is mandatory to have an architect in France. It is a perfectly understandable requirement but it does add quite a cost (about 2000 euros) and also a delay, because most architects have a 2 to 3 month waiting list and then (like the rest of France) everyone goes on holiday for August.

The great news is that he has looked over the plans I have drawn and is very happy with the quality and said he could just stamp the plans once they where tidied up then submit them along with the permis de construire, some photos and a covering letter.

This should save lots of time and some money and with luck I should be able to submit the plans within the next week or so and hopefully have them processed by the DDE before the August holidays.

Good news.

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.
