Hi to all - new to this forum. My wife and I are thinking of buying in France and maybe moving over, part time to begin with but maybe permanent in the future. Just the 2 of us - no kids. We are just starting out on this venture - and have a property to look at via a friend, quite near to La Trenche sur Mer in the Vendee - going next month for a week to look around. Can anyone give me any tips or help of what I should be looking at - places to see - things to take into account etc...so that we get the best out of our trip over there. Thanks Phil
