Now that the sale of our house is well under way and the exchange rate against the euro is on the up, my mind turned again this weekend to trying to make a move to France. We already have a holiday home there and so have experienced buying a house in France before. Bit by bit, my french has got better but always we seemed stumped by how to make a living there without me having to cross the channel every week to keep up my consultancy work here.
Of course we have toyed with the idea of running a gite business but at the same time we want to minimise our mortgage commitments. Also, I am not sure that the location of our current holiday home would make for a popular gite.
So this week I am going to search high and low for some alternative options that might give us some potential to earn a reasonable income whilst living mortgage free in France.
For those of you that have some ideas of what I might do, drop me an email. Je vous en prie.

Hi Mark
ReplyDeleteGreat to meet you today. With the power of social media I have found your blog! Can I suggest that you look at http://www.clientmagnets.com/cmd.asp?af=1122386 That is an affiliate link but I can assure you that I am a very satisfied customer and raving fan of Bernadette Doyle! She is a great mentor for helping you to productise your knowledge and perhaps turn your business into an information business, which you could maybe run online from France!
Hope that helps. Sorry we didn't get to speak for long this morning. Hope to see you again.
