  1. Thanks everyone for the replies.I've had a look at the web site and there a few places  that are reasonably close ,so I think it will be a cycling watching sunday on the 9th of July.Its not for me but for my father in law who is le Tour mad and also its his 60 th birthday so he see it in the flesh and not on the tele for once.   regards to all   Jon
  2. The Tour De France is passing through Brittany this year  does anyone know its route  through? we have a house near Huelgoat,so if anyone knows if it is passing nearby or the nearest town I would be very grateful for any info. thanks Jon
  3. Anyone know if Flybe have pulled out of flying from Southampton to Brest.Tried to book flight in Nov and it is only taking bookings until end of this month.I see they are still flying from Birmingham to Brest but as Southampton is very convenient for us would like to know if this is the case. regards   Jon
  4. Can anyone tell me the dates of the remaining Bank holidays in France?Am planning dates to travel and would like to avoid them. Cheers Jon
  5. Thanks to all who replied and gave info,very interesting!Punch I assume myself they are not registered as they always request cash or I post a cheque.They offered to do our garden as they were doing the garden adjacent to ours and at the time we jumped at the offer as we did not have anyone  else or did we know of anyone as we had not long purchased the house.Now armed with a bit more knowledge I am getting a bit more weary.If we give up these people could anyone recommend another gardener.We are located just north of Huelgoat.   Thanks again 1 and all.   Jon
  6. Hello to all in 29. Can anybody offer advice on above subject.We use the services of a local couple to carry out gardening tasks on our property .If the unforseen accident arises ie they smash a window  whilst strimming or crack the CH oil tank or some other catastrophe do they claim on their liability insurance or do we claim on our insurance? Do they need to have cover?They seem to be pretty busy around the area and it seems to be a business venture there running,advice please. Thanks Jon
  7. Thanks for that Val,as Cornwall/Devon was battered yesterday I was worried that all the western approaches had taken a pounding,put my mind at ease.Glad to hear that some of the weather has been fine,we were over for a few days around the 17th and were pleasantly suprised to sit out and have a coffee in the square at Huelgoat.
  8. Hope everyone over there is OK.After all the storms and flooding in the South west of England Just wondered how you faired over there.I have not been able to contact my friend who keeps a eye on our place, near Berrien
  9. Well we did it! Completed signing for the purchase of our house last month.We are so excited and pleased with it. We are just north of Berrien ,which is just north of Huelgoat and south of Morlaix.Is there any forum members nearby who can give us any practical info or advice on the area.We have already made some useful contacts for gardening and the vendor has been marvellous in helping us set up bank accounts , untilities etc. We have met our neighbours and they all seem very nice and welcoming, we better brush up on our rusty french as they are french speakers and speak little english of which we do not mind.It was quite a wrench to return to England,we love the place so much.We are going back on the 17 th of this month though.We have bought the property as a second home at present but will hopefully move over eventually.It would be nice to hear from any forum members who live locally.   Jon & Samantha
  10. Just found a property in Brittany 1 hours drive from Brest airport.On the return trip Ryan air stewardess informs me this is the last flight on this route .does anyone know of other Airlines flying into Brest from the south of England.I know I can use Dinard but that nearly doulbles may road trip.Gateful for any info. Jon
