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.

OK, got it! Let's get started.
