Town: Vence
About the Locale: Vence is a large town, approximately 30 minutes drive from the Nice airport, with easy access to the sea and the Alps, a busy, beautiful French town with a generous amount of artists and transplanted internationals. If your criteria are climate, beauty, access to transportation, Vence might just be...
Biggest Pluses: Super convenient location ( to supermarkets, bus station) yet not noisy, or far from the older, medieval portions of Vence that make it such a beautiful town.
Peculiarities: The bedroom is not separated from the living area. When the weather keeps you inside, this might be too small even for a couple. With the use of the terrace, not as small.
Town: Nice
About the Locale: In the Musicien neighborhood of Nice (a highly convenient and sought after neighborhood in one of France's most sought after cities.)
Biggest Pluses: Location, location, location!!!
Peculiarities: The main entrance is from Promenade des Anglais. It is covered at the moment and are in preparation for renovations ( not a pretty sight). Keyfob access where you will go through a series of passages...
Town: Saint-Emilion
About the Locale: The area around Saint Emilion has a reasonable claim on being one of the most beautiful in France (and that is saying something!) Saint Emilion is a jewel of a town (very discovered by tourists) and this local is about a 5 minute drive outside that town and smack dab in the middle of some of the be...
Biggest Pluses: Stunning scenery all around you, and village, town and big city pleasure easily reached.
Peculiarities: You are in heavily agricultural location (though not far from towns) Furnishings are good, but not fancy. WiFi network speed: 9 Mbps Verified by flow test. It is possible to watch HD videos in stre...
Town: Mont-de-Marsan
About the Locale: Mont-de-Marsan is a small city, and a very typical French town. It is not considered a tourist draw, and has relatively few English-speakers. It offers a moderate winter and less wind that other parts of the Southwest. It has a good weekly market and is quite affordable.
Biggest Pluses: The river and garden. Directly across from a huge park
Peculiarities: This is a small studio and the kitchen is good for light meals but probably not satisfactory for big meals. Ideal for one person, but it can accommodated two. Our guess is two people for a 30 day or...

Town: Uzes
About the Locale: Uzes is a uniquely liveable town, whose crown jewel is it's central Place Aux Herbes. Equally memorable is the Duchy d'Uzes (the duke's castle) which you can view from outside your bedroom window. Exquisite architecture, eminently walkable, superb nature nearby, a mix of old & new residents. On...
Biggest Pluses: Without a doubt, the view from the castle. Really breath-taking
Peculiarities: The stairs are steep, and paved with mosaic tiles, which are pretty, but still a rigorous climb. The last step up into the apartment is a steep one. A 72 year old, with bad knees, and a 50K suitcase ...

Biggest Pluses: Spacious, well-furnished (including kitchen tools), ground floor and short walk to transportation and commerce. Gorgeous small private terrace!
Peculiarities: Very few, if any peculiarities -- just about perfect. There could be some street noise when the nearby lycee lets out of school late afternoon. . The apartment is on a quite narrow street and free p...

Town: Uzes
About the Locale: Uzes is a uniquely liveable town, whose crown jewel is it's central Place Aux Herbes. Exquisite architecture, eminently walkable, superb nature nearby, a mix of old & new residents. Uzes's only major minus: no train, buses dependable but limited schedules.
Biggest Pluses: There are only a few 'jewels' like this apartment -- carefully restored, and in the vicinity of one of the finest market squares in all of France.
Peculiarities: Stairs up to bedroom and mezzanine, no elevator

Biggest Pluses: Location, location, location and moderately priced!
Peculiarities: Layout of the apartment is a bit odd. The walk to the town is about 10 minutes, but fairly steeply downhill and narrow walkway at times.

How do I book a property? 

  1. Contact: from the home page, go to the page for the specific property you are interested in.   There, you will find a form that starts the process.
  2. Conversation*: when we receive the form we will contact you to schedule a conversation to make sure both this property and this location are a good match for your priorities and preferences. (Let us know in the form whether you prefer to be contacted by phone or email.)  
  3. Match! Once we feel sure that both you and the property owner have an excellent chance of having a positive experience…
  4. …Go! We connect you directly with the owner. They share availability, prices & details of their booking process.  You book directly with them. 

*This will NOT be a sales call.  Under no circumstance, during our conversation, are you under any obligation.  We act as a matchmaker and advisor for people wanting to try out the notion of living in France.  We believe a crucial step in that try-out is a longer stay in France, focused on the possibility of a life, vs. a vacation, in France.  We know that many property owners particularly appreciate this ‘longer-staying’ client, particularly in the non-peak seasons.  To understand this “matching vs. selling” approach better, we invite you to become a part of the community, join us on our website,  Finding Your French Town or our Facebook Group. Trying Our France, where our community of France-lovers encourage one another.
