<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 10pt;">France have had a very historical week adding to the already vibrant country of culture and sophistication. With the upcoming Cannes Film Festival
and the summer months bringing glorious sunny weather, France is <b>the</b></span><i style="color: #0d0d0d;"> </i><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 10pt;">place to be in 2017.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 10pt;">The country’s official tourism development agency, Atout France, embarked on a
fantastic North American roadshow this year and that included a stop in
Toronto, Canada. Canadians are particularly interested in visiting the South of
France with there being a contrast in climate and their links to the country in
general. Contributing to as much as 1.2 million overnight stays in the area in
2016, they comprise the region’s second international market outside of Europe with big name Canadian stars such as Justin Bieber deciding to holiday in the area. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Inspired by the Cannes Film Festival, a group of cinema screen advertising contractors, belonging to the Screen Advertising World Association, came together in the late 1940's and felt that the makers of advertising films should also be recognised for their creations.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The History of the <a href="http://www.festival-cannes.com/en/" target="_blank">Cannes Film Festival</a></span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Held in one of the most beautiful locations in the world, the celebrations attract thousands of people whether they be actors and actresses at the top of their game or big name directors. The glitz and the glamour will definitely be arriving to the French Riviera on the 17th to the 28th of May. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Timeline</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>July 1938 - </b>The 'Venice Mostra' was the first international film festival. It saw pre-war film producing countries gather together to show their creations. An American film was unanimously judged as the favourite but due to political tension, high pressure from Hitler and the various propaganda films, an Italian film won the highest accolade, 'The Mussolini Cup', instead.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This caused great outrage among the democratic countries. France, Great Britain and the USA all left the Mostra and vowed to never return. </span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>May 1939 - </b>Feeling like a new festival needed to replace the Mostra, the town of Cannes and the government signaled the official establishment of the 'International Film Festival'.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>

This saw stars such as Sean Connery, Bette Davis and John Wayne attend. By allowing this to happen, the film industry was better promoted as a whole and encouraged more networking. </span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">What's the <a href="http://www.metropole.com/en/home" target="_blank">Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo</a> all about?</span></b></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This illustrious and beautifully imagined hotel is a spectacular gem on the Cote d'Azur. Blending a rich and interesting history with modern and contemporary style, the Hotel Metropole embodies the modern charm of Monte-Carlo with old school attraction. </span><br />
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Located in the Carre d'Or of the Principality, the property is just steps away from the luxury boutiques and the casino square. Built in 1886 and originally opened on land belonging to Pope Leon XIII, the building was soon in demand by international clientele who were seduced by the Belle Epoque style.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In 2004, the Hotel Metropole became distinguished and contemporary, keeping the emotional character it was known for whilst offering a luxurious and modern atmosphere in its new identity. Combining the rich heritage with Mediterranean vibes, this remarkable building's decor emphasises the level of service proposed.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The concept of the hotel is to really focus on the human senses, our emotions and our dreams. The decor and architecture is a mixture of classical and timeless with a touch of modernism to really progress the property's fashionable and elegance.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Offering complete luxury, relaxation and intimacy, the hotel is closer to an independent house and due to it's dynamic and creative character, it is recognised as a reference point among international luxury hotels, further emphasised by the hotel's win of the coveted award of Best Hotel in the World 2010.</span><br />

<br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Here are our Favourite Traditional French Dishes You Should Try</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>1. Bouillabaisse </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-auDuziIOIA4/WONzaipICDI/AAAAAAAACq4/Jygmo7CcVA8H7tFh0cM_Wq2K-YzNieFGACEw/s1600/Bouillabaise.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="272" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-auDuziIOIA4/WONzaipICDI/AAAAAAAACq4/Jygmo7CcVA8H7tFh0cM_Wq2K-YzNieFGACEw/s400/Bouillabaise.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A stew flavoured with saffron, this beautifully warming dish is originally from the French Provencal region. Filled with a variety of shellfish and vegetables, it also includes at least four different types of fish; normally conger, scorpion fish and monkfish. Served with crusty French bread topped with rouille, a mayonnaise made with olive oil, saffron, garlic and cayenne. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>2. Piperade</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tzJ2pwaxhs8/WON0Ljm4fOI/AAAAAAAACq8/kphY9dsFeggPnqFuziklv_p8IQKBxrzVQCLcB/s1600/Piperade.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="358" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tzJ2pwaxhs8/WON0Ljm4fOI/AAAAAAAACq8/kphY9dsFeggPnqFuziklv_p8IQKBxrzVQCLcB/s400/Piperade.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A specialty in the South of France and Basque areas, Piperade takes advantage of the excess of rich tomatoes and colourful peppers in the area. Again served with crusty bread, baking eggs into the dish makes this meal super tasty.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>3. Coq au Vin</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fWDcl-4ZT5o/WON0xWYV9KI/AAAAAAAACrA/0PPJrJA3v7g7Ax7vM2JRBwQtZzVzQdjQQCLcB/s1600/Coq%2Bau%2Bvin.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fWDcl-4ZT5o/WON0xWYV9KI/AAAAAAAACrA/0PPJrJA3v7g7Ax7vM2JRBwQtZzVzQdjQQCLcB/s400/Coq%2Bau%2Bvin.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of the most famous French dishes, Coq au Vin varies slightly from each region like most French meals. Originally made with rooster but now more commonly with chicken, this dish is warming and hearty. The wine sauce again varies between different regions with regards to preparation but Burgandy is the widely used choice. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>4. Escargot</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QQFiJ7AoQ6Y/WON1oo54YSI/AAAAAAAACrE/LYkiHGbnd60nl6nYAlEWZLo5l3oSsbN8gCLcB/s1600/Escargot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QQFiJ7AoQ6Y/WON1oo54YSI/AAAAAAAACrE/LYkiHGbnd60nl6nYAlEWZLo5l3oSsbN8gCLcB/s400/Escargot.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Most people find themselves turning their nose up at the very thought of eating snails but this dish is an incredibly famous and popular delicacy. Served as an appetiser, the snails are removed from their shells, cleaned and placed back in after being prepared with a garlic butter sauce. The dish even comes with its own utensil; a handy pair of tongs used to hold the shell.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>5. Crepes</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IXAXsOm9igE/WON2HDf_EYI/AAAAAAAACrI/QFjv06e3g2kQgRYJKdavuOl-yurb92ePgCLcB/s1600/Crepes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="261" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IXAXsOm9igE/WON2HDf_EYI/AAAAAAAACrI/QFjv06e3g2kQgRYJKdavuOl-yurb92ePgCLcB/s400/Crepes.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To end on a sweet note, crepes are a very traditional dessert eaten all over France. Very popular and normally eaten sweet, cafes and shops on every corner will be highly likely to serve crepes to their hungry customers. </div>

<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A Brief History</span></b></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">St Tropez is synonymous with espadrilles, bronzed tans and the 60’s French star Brigette Bardot.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Outside of the fashion and pop culture we’re all aware of today, there is so much more to know about this coastal town on the French Riviera.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It begins with the grisly legend of Saint Torpes of Pisa. Torpes was a Roman soldier in the service of the Emperor Nero also working as his bodyguard.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After refusing to denounce his Christian faith, Torpes was killed and his body was left to drift out to sea in a boat with a dog and a rooster.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The legend says his body washed ashore in modern day Saint-Tropez with the bird and the dog who had left his body untouched.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After the fall of the Roman Empire, Saint-Tropez became attacked and ravaged by pirates and bandits. Lasting for a century or so, the neighbouring village of Garde Frient was established and the surrounding areas, along with Saint-Tropez became an Arabic-Muslim colony for another 100 years.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">More recent history shows Saint-Tropez was one of the landing sites for the Allied assault on Southern France in August 1944.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But it was the 1960’s that really saw Saint-Tropez come out of its shell and acquire its world renowned status. Brigette Bardot not only launched her own career but also the town in the 1956 film, <i>“And God Created Woman”</i>. Both her characters sexuality and her own persona tied Saint-Tropez together and it became the meeting place for the new young, pretty things of the time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Since then, Saint-Tropez has been linked to some of the world’s biggest stars with supermodels being particularly highly spotted, including Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and Cindy Crawford. Penelope Cruz and the Hiltons are also spotted regularly on the harbour and on the beach.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px;">This massively long stretch of beautiful sand is Saint-Tropez’s main beach. It’s busy in the summertime but if you manage to stay long enough (not a hard task as it really is amazing), the sunsets are unforgettable.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Route des Mimosas is a 130km route along the coast, following the towns made famous by the Belle Epoque period. The beloved mimosa was actually introduced by the British in the 1800’s to add sunnier colours to their gardens during the late winter holidays.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">During this roadtrip, there’s a definite springtime feel and the area was the first to really introduce the al fresco lunch bistros along the mimosa-lined village streets. The landscape today is sunshine yellow, signalling the start of the season. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

If you've never been to the French Riviera, you've definitely heard of it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With the famous festivals including Lions & Film, giving it a celebrity status, it's no wonder its a such a desired location, of course its certainly our favourite, but why?<br />
On our latest visit to the South of France (February 2017) we explore our favourite reasons.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Arriving </u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you descend, you can see through the windows of the plane the stunning coastline, Mediterranean waters, and the snow capped mountains of the French Alps (depending on when you travel!) and its clear you're in a place of true beauty. </div>

Stepping off the plane, the weather is much milder than the UK, even in February!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Driving to our destination of Cap d'Antibes, is a pleasant drive, along the A8 taking just over half an hour. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>Cap d'Antibes </u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Being one of the most sought after addresses along the Riviera, the charm of Cap d'Antibes is evident from the offset, with quaint cobbled streets and beautiful scenery. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once we had dropped off our luggage at the our villa, we went for a stroll.... </div>

The old town is beautiful, with pretty houses, designer shops and a wonderful market in the centre, with a vast variety of produce ranging from fresh vegetables, flowers, meats, cheeses and spices. We didn't have much time as we had a jam packed schedule, however we did have chance to wander through the market and we were enticed by the array of colour! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We continued to walk into Cannes, where our first stop was one of our our favourite chocolatiers - <a href="http://www.jeanlucpele.com/fr/cmspages/jean-luc-pele.3.html" target="_blank">Juan Luc Pele.</a> The display is so inviting you can't help but be drawn in.The smell of the sweet chocolate has your taste buds doing summer salts from the moment you walk through the door, and there is an entire wall made of chocolate which adds to the tantalization. Our treats of choice are the macarons, they are so delicious! Whatever you purchase from here, you won't be disappointed! </div>

It was a fly in visit for Saint Jean Cap Ferrat, but this is such a charming town, located on a peninsula between Nice and Monaco, & is nestled in greenery. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is one of the most popular locations on the French Riviera, with exclusive homes and a large yacht harbour, The village itself is quite small, but there are plenty of terrace cafes and restaurants along the port. </div>

Monaco is well known for the Grand prix, as well as the famous Monte Carlo casino. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's a haven for the wealthy, and a playground for tourists! It is known to be the second smallest country in the world (Vatican City being the smallest) </div>

A beautiful medieval village situated in the hills, with absolutely stunning views of the coast! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In my personal opinion, it is my absolute favourite location, and needs to be seen! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The village is pedestrianized, so there is a car park located below it where there is also the tourist office. There are a number of paved streets to explore with plenty of picturesque buildings to be photographed! </div>

Cannes is the host of many famous festivals, including Lions, MIPIM, MIPTV, The International Luxury Travel Market & of course the Film Festival - making it a hot spot for celebrities! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year we celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Film Festival!<br />

Philippe Erlanger (a French writer) wanted to rival the Venice Film Festival and suggested an International film festival in France. He gained support from both the British and American film industries and organised for the first one to take place in Septermber 1939, however it actually began in 1946 due to the end of the war. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The event was across 15 days showcasing over 40 feature length films, and more than 50 short films.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Initially there was a jury of 18 people, including representatives all with different nationalities from each country that had entered films, this changed in 1947 when the jury was entirely French, this remained that way until 1953 when they included members from other European countries. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The festival rapidly gained reputation in the 50's and an increase in media coverage due to the appearance of many stars, including: Grace Kelly, Brigitte Bardot and Sophia Loren. Due to economic reasons the festival didn't take place in 1948 and 1950, but it returned successfully, in the purpose built Palais des Festivals et des Congres. It was then moved to take place in Spring (avoiding clashing with the festival in Venice!) <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
In 1952, the Palais des Festivals was made the permanent home for the event.<br />
The event remained much the same until 1955 where the Palme d'Or (Golden Palm) award for best film of the festival was introduced, replacing the Grand Prix du Festival, which was used in early years. It is regarded as the most prestigious film festival in the world, with an attendance of more than 30,000! <br />

classic Provencal bistro with bright French windows, modern art dotted on the
walls and well-presented dishes of local favourites with a modern twist. The
menu changes several times a week so each dining experience here will be delightfully
different! We recommend the likes of the fillet of turbot in a lemon sauce with
veg from the nearby Forville market which looks and tastes terrific. As do cod
in fig leaves or lamb chops in a mustard sauce.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

to choose from along the French Riviera coastline so you’ll need to be sure
where you would prefer to be. People enjoy visiting particular areas for
different reasons, for instance if you want to see the Grand Prix you need to
be in, or near Monaco, and if you want to be close to beaches, shopping and
glamour you would choose <a href="http://elegant-address.com/luxury-rental-properties/properties-for-rent.asp?Location=Cannes&LocationID=1" target="_blank">Cannes </a>or <a href="http://elegant-address.com/luxury-rental-properties/properties-for-rent.asp?Location=Saint%20Tropez&LocationID=5" target="_blank">St Tropez</a>.

and cultural trip there are beautiful medieval towns that will charm you and
invite you back each year. There really is a place for every taste on the Cote

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">France is one of the most popular countries to buy property abroad, and it's not hard to guess why with the countries fantastic landscapes with coastlines and countryside, rich history,<a href="http://elegant-address.blogspot.fr/2016/04/top-5-french-riviera-dishes.html"> incredible food</a> and of course the world famous wine. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whether you are looking for a holiday home or want to relocate; buying a property in France is straight-forward as long as you know the process! Here are our five top things to consider when buying a property in France. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">1. You need a 'Notaire'</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-H4s6M1jnE9M/V63ODcQ7lxI/AAAAAAAACME/y3b5tVTUva8p1y6pbJaL4EEnWxMjiYEfwCLcB/s1600/Halifax_mortgage_2_1707663c.jpg"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-H4s6M1jnE9M/V63ODcQ7lxI/AAAAAAAACME/y3b5tVTUva8p1y6pbJaL4EEnWxMjiYEfwCLcB/s400/Halifax_mortgage_2_1707663c.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Notaires is very similar to UK solicitors, they represent and act on behalf of the buyer and seller during the purchasing process of any piece of land or property in France. They are a mandatory if you are thinking of buying a house as their primary role is to ensure that everything about the sale is legal, follows the correct protocols and the appropriate taxes are paid on purchase of the property. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Taxes can vary from 2.5% for a new build, up to 8% depending on the property's value. A proportion of the taxes also involve the french equivalent of stamp duty. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">2. Survey the property</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Surveys are not common in France but it is possible to arrange one and we would advice you having one done before the inital contract. This is so there can be conditional clauses added into the contract if needed, on completion of the survey. If you do not choose to conduct a survey, sellers are still required by law to provide reports on lead, asbestos, termites, gas, energy efficiency, water drainage and natural/technological risks. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">3. Compromis de Vente</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-p_2d2EsuGWc/V63NosxFyuI/AAAAAAAACL8/cN0Sw26XERE6Wbvl2QpCKLnqoU5YcIqtACEw/s1600/signing-docs.jpg"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-p_2d2EsuGWc/V63NosxFyuI/AAAAAAAACL8/cN0Sw26XERE6Wbvl2QpCKLnqoU5YcIqtACEw/s400/signing-docs.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A compris is the preliminary contract between the buyer and the seller which is drawn up by the notaire once an offer has been accepted. There can be 'suspensive' clauses added into this first contract which means there are conditions to the sale, such as the buyer obtaining a mortgage. If the conditional clauses are not met then the seller does not have to accept the offer. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">4. Cooling off period</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once the Compris de Vente is signed by both parties, there is a 10 day cooling off period to allow the buyer to withdraw from the sale if they wish, without loss of their deposit. The deposit is usually 10% of the property price. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the final contract which is signed by both parties. If the buyer cannot attend for any reason, they can appoint a power of attorney to sign on their behalf. This is then the stage when the final sale price is paid, along with the fees/taxes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

It’s quick and (fairly) simple to arrive from the UK with the <a href="http://www.eurostar.com/uk-en" target="_blank">Eurostar</a> and Eurotunnel as well as a fleet of ferries and of course airlines making multiple trips daily. </div>

One of the most famous and favourable aspects of <a href="http://elegant-address.com/luxury-rental-properties/" target="_blank">visiting the Cote d’Azur</a> is the incredible weather. With bright blue skies, sparkling sunshine, hot summers and even enjoying mild climates during autumn, it’s no surprise that even the head to the sunny south on holiday. “Of the 60 per cent of French people who go away on holiday, some 80 per cent stay within their own country,” points out Anthony Peregrine, author of Telegraph Travel's Le Rosbif</div>

Ever heard of a wonderful little thing called champagne? How about Claret or burgundy wine? These are all regions and marvelous types of wine that originate from France. There are 27,000 wineries in France and around 110,000 wine growers so there are plenty of famous wines and local ‘bring your own bottle to fill’ vineyards to try. Want to know the best wine bars on the French Riviera? Here is a local’s guide to their favourite wine bars in the region.</div>

If you are not one of the millions of people flying over to France then join the other many millions of visitors who pass through the country for a mini holiday on their way to another destination. It is well worth extending your holiday to spend a few nights on the fabulous Cote d’Azur, Paris or wine regions before heading to one of the country’s neighbours such as Spain or Italy. </div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Lunch Break: 1.5 – 2hrs</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The French are famous for their leisurely long lunches and
leaving the office early which makes us slightly jealous and left wondering
whether stress exists in France.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> How many times have
you sat at your desk on your lunch break, furiously eating a salad or squashed sandwich
whilst on the phone to your bank or energy company at the same time as trying
to write a well versed email? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The British are notoriously bad for not taking a lunch <i>break</i>. The most we step away from our
desks is to pop across the road to pick up a takeaway sandwich from the local Pret
A Manger, or at a push, squeeze in a sweaty spin class to try and relieve some stress.
When was the last time you went for a wander or took your full lunch hour to
catch up with a friend? </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The French live life a much simpler way. Your lunchtime may
include a restful hour and a half in a local restaurant with a friend or
reading your book in the sunshine by the beach under the cloudless sky. Lunch
is very important to the French. Even ‘work lunches’ will consist of a starter,
main, cheese course and dessert and if you have to slum it in the work canteen
(which offers free meals) you can enjoy delicacies such as fresh sea bass and
greens in a butter and caper sauce. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The French have a much better and healthier viewpoint on
food and lunch in general compared to the Brits. Instead of seeing lunch as a
time to ‘refuel’ they believe it is a time to maintain friendship and helps
with productivity. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Working Week: 35 hours</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">France has the shortest working week in Europe with just 35
hours. French workers also get 50% of their transport costs covered each month,
double pay at Christmas and some workers even having a ‘no emails after 6pm’
rule. Extra life celebration perks include receiving 4 days off for your wedding
and 16 weeks maternity leave compared to the UK’s 6 weeks. Wouldn’t that be
lovely?!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">People can obviously choose to work a little longer if they
wish but they will either receive overtime pay or the equivalent time off next
month which could add up to two extra days off! Bob Hancké, associate professor
of political economy at London School of Economics and Political Science
explains. “France’s working week is officially limited to 35 hours. But local
trade unions can negotiate arrangements that deviate, as long as the average
annual working time is 35 hours,” he says. “What’s worked above that is in
principle overtime and paid as such (usually at 100% extra).”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“One of the positive things I’ve noticed about French
working culture is that even when things are busy and people are putting in the
hours, you still have a life,” says Louise Preston, 31, who’s spending a year
working in Paris as head of curriculum development at a small start-up. “We
work in a high-paced environment but my colleagues still all play sports, go to
the cinema, eat out or visit art galleries during the week. Life isn’t just
about work, and even if you finish late, you still make the effort to do
something, like head to a late-night exhibition. There’s a real value to
spending spare time wisely and I just don’t think that exists to the same
extent in the UK.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It’s no surprise, then, that research carried out by <a href="http://totaljobs.com/" target="_blank">totaljobs.com</a> has found
that British workers suffer more stress and feel less able to deal with their
workloads than the French. According to the 2014 research, only 13% of UK
employees reported feeling no stress and “on top of their workload”. The French
were among the least stressed, with 64% of employees reporting that they felt
no stress at all at work and had no problem handling their workloads.</span></div>

</tbody></table>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Although we have
different working laws and longer working weeks, the French do seem to be onto
something. They have a healthier view on a work-life balance, not letting it
take over your personal time and development. Although we might not stop
working at 6pm we will definitely start by treating ourselves to a lunch
outside of the office today!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
