Albert the InfoGipsy Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 They certainly exist -- my father in law calls them petits jardins a la francaise. Whether you'll have any near you is another matter. If you're in a village or small town you could ask around if anyone has a bit of land they'll rent you. Rural France seems to be full of odd little plots where the land has been subdivided over the generations. Maybe have a stroll round and see if there's a patch that looks overgrown and doesn't seem to belong to the houses adjoining. If it's a small enough commune it's probably worth explaining what you are after at the Mairie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I have certainly seen them for sale in property listings .. though not very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
