No kids and a normal lifestyle. So with two rooms, it is possible....This will give us hope.

Imagin this scenario: With own money, you buy a house and you removate it to a B&B in France with two luxuary rooms, in a touristic area. My girlfriend wil do her own job as a physical therapist and earns about 1000 euro's a mounth. Is it possible to live from this scenario? Or are there to much B&B's already in France?

How much estate agents you would go for?

It doesn't matter to me who will buy the house. I'm building now a website (see http://www.masdeslavandes.co.nr) to attract some people and plublish my site on the French Property News website. Is it wise to go to an immobilier for an exclusive contract and go for a lower rate, or go for more immobiliers and go for a higher rate of costs?

We want to sell our property in Gordes. Can we sell it on or own, or do we have to go to the immobilier?

Dear Ian, Thanks for the great reply. Especially regearding the topic of the swimmingpool. We don't want that he guests hang arround all day. But I think that a swimmingpool gives you that extra what attracts more guests. So that could be a big point of discussion. Steven

Hello, Does anybody know if it is difficult to find a job as a physical therapist (kinesitherapeute) in France? Dutch diploma's are accepted in France. Greetings, Stephane

Thanks guys for all the info. As I am a Belgium, French isn't a problem. For my wife she now taking courses to take up her french. So it's better to spent more money on a house that's seems to be ok for B&B, and spent money on a pool en little reovation work. In what kind of prices should I think for buying and renovating? Steven

Dear Ian, Yes my wife wants to get a job as a Kinesitherapeute. But not in a private practice. More in a hospital or a revalidation setting. So I can concentrate myself on the B&B business. Do you think there are plenty jobs in France? The budget is 200.000 for buying and 100.000 for renovating. Is that resonable? Thanks. Steven

Dear Ian, Thank you for the the answer who will guide me through my quest. The main problem for us will be to find a job for my wife, otherwise I think it isn't a good adventure to start. But otherwise we will go further with your information with a budget of 300.000 euro's Stephane

Hello, Is there stil any place left in France to start a B&B. Or are there at this moment to much of them? If there is any place left, in wich region can you find something suitable to start a B&B with 3 rooms for me to run the place and my wife working as a physical therapist. Thanks for al your answers.
